Hi all,
following on from my various endeavours to trace the missing get-up-n-go in my 1994 disco 1 300tdi, i fitted a pressure gauge reading 0-30 psi. I tee'd it into the pipe going from turbo to injector pump. I used a 0-30 gauge as the target pressure (boost) was around 12psi which is at the most accurate mid-scale point of the gauge.
Anyway, we took her for a spin with wifey holding the gauge shouting out numbers as i thrashed (or attempted to) the nuts off of her, warmed up, then uphill as full throttle as i could get.
The maximum boost i got was 2 psi
so if i did the test correctly, this would indicate why she is as flat as a pancake to drive, lifeless is an exaggeration here.
So the question is, WHERE HAS ALL MY PRESSURE GONE????
It makes the right whistle noise as you rev but there is bugger all pressure output.
ANY thoughts would be much appreciated.
Dave
