Hi all,
I have a rater annoying problem. One that has been spoke about a million times on here and other forums (but we don't speak about those haha).
My disco 1 300tdi will barely go above 50 she revs great when sat still, turbo spools up and sounds ok very little play in the turbo. but when actually driving her she is just meh. Also there are no big plumes of black smoke we all love so much.
So far the things I have done are as follows.
Removed sedimentor and ran a whole new fuel line to the lift pump.
Replaced lift pump
Fitted a boost pin (have not messed with the cog in the pump)
Fitted a decat pipe
Replaced fuel filter
Replaced air filter
Checked the oil isn't slugded up in the diffs
Flushed out the intercooler inside and out.
Replaced the turbo pipes incase if delamination.
I have also fitted an inline clear fuel filter in the new hose I ran.
When I rev the engine I can see tiny air bubbles in the new inline fuel filter. I can do a video if needed but they are very small. Is this normal? Would/could that be the issue? I am fairly confident that they are not getting in where I have joined the hoses. I have also had the boot floor cover off the sender unit (not removed the sender) and cleaned that up best I could and whacked a load of silicone over the hose connectors just incase.
I am at my whitts end now, any ideas are welcomed at this point.
Thanks in advance
