--> The story so far;
Have been noticing a gradual decrease in power on my 200 Tdi converted 110.
About 2 months ago I was tweaking the fuel injection pump and up until recently it has been driving superbly with bundles of power and pull.
However, recently it seems to be struggling to boost, and power loss is most noticeable at the top end of the rev range - the revs seem a bit erratic and jerky when you are at high revs.
It is also smoking black more than it used to, for instance just maintaining 50mph on a relatively flat road gives a wispy black smoke just visible in the wing mirror.
I've checked the obvious things (intercooler pipes, air filter etc) and they seem to be fine, as they are only 12 months old.
Other things that may be related, I had been running on 50/50 veg oil up until recently, but have only put diesel in for the last 400 miles or so.
I also was fiddling with the injection pump a while back, as in this thread, which did make a really nice improvement up until recently.
And fina
