So I have a 300tdi defender bought in July with 114k on clock, and now done 122k with two European tours. It had had a new timing belt, has since had head gasket, p gasket, water pump done, two full services, a new alisport oversized intercooler, all new silicon hoses and a boost pin and boost ring fitted and all runs quite well. No abnormal white smoke I can see, though I may have seen a whiff once when starting in cold??? My only gripe is it runs colder than it should but had the thermostat out and tested, a ok there. I have an EGT gauge and never been over 600 degrees since fitted and boost, etc fitted.
Had a look at a few threads, but no funny noise, smoke etc like this: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/300-tdi-white-smoke-and-loss-of-power.265171/ the closest I could find.
I usually ease it in 1st then give it a bit of welly in 2nd, 3rd and 4th if road allows, but today I had a sudden loss of top end power in 3rd. Changed up to 4th and all ok. I can hear a bit of turno noise above a certain rev range where loss of power happens. Stopped and checked all the hoses I can see and nothing lose (have yet to check under as ground all wet ).
Anyone had this? Have seen various lighter allow spool turbos out there which have caught my eye (given at full whack, fully loaded in 5th I cannot get EGT over 600 degrees C she can handle a bit more boost
(can't we all )
Anyone think its another hose or does it sound turbo related? The rad is original (1996) and in great shape, the only other thing that is old and rattles like a bstard is the oil breather...
