My 90 has been going strong for years now but the other day she was started to loose power. Over a couple of days it got worse and started to smoke quite a bit (black smoke).
I went through the usual checks and came up trumps except that 2 of the glo plugs were not heating. This i dont think is anything to do with it though, she still starts normal in the mornings but just doesnt have the power.
I took the lid off the water bottle and started it up and there was no pressure in the water bottle so didnt indicate a sylindar head problem.
One thing i did notice though waas when the engine runs if you take off the oil fillar cap she was blowing a fair bit. More than normal i would say.
Any ideas ? Is there any common faults in the 300TDI's that cause loss of power and really bad smoke ?????
Cheers
