Hello All.
Once again a pointer in the right direction is needed. So this 2.5 DT manual gearbox pain in the backside is giving me grief. It s current problem is that it's being completely gutless on hills apart from the odd occasion when it suddenly remembers how it used to perform.
I've checked and replaced the tubing for the MAP sensor, the fuel filter and tried another MAF sensor all to no avail.
A visual inspection shows that there's intermittent air bubbles in the clear pipe from the filter, so I'm going to remove and it just to check the seals. My other thought is that it's dragging air in on the fuel pump.
The lack of power on hills and the fact that it's pretty much ok on the level roads makes me think that the pump is on the way out, (I've found the post from wammers in the tech archive and will go through the tests).
My immediate question is if I unplug the MAF and drive it round the same hills it's way better, wouldn't a dodgy fuel pump give the same symptoms, wether or not the MAF was connected.
Ta muchly
