just a thought, what would the effect off a partially blocked exhaust system be? to performance and live data readings, I know the exhaust is original other than the downpipe so could have baffles inside falling apart.

mine is a manual box!

not yet. I accept advice the high manifold pressure reading is likely a wiring issue but I also know that fault code has shown for maybe a decade with no performance issue........something else is going on too, maybe mechanical?

Hi, just picking up on this now. The distractions are sorted and I had a few other jobs to do before getting to the gutless performance. Thermostat done and it warms up now and maintains temperature BUT the heater is still only mlldly warm on full heat....it used to burn skin off in the past...

I will do thanks...may be a while, have a funeral to deal with. It always drove fine even with the high pressure reading which without the Hawkeye would have been unknown. Thanks again.

Thanks, replaced the sensor on the manifold...no change!

I think I understand that thanks....so I need to look at fuel temperature too? Are there any things I could look at for its gutless performance? Turbo boost seems fine. Coolant temp is low 80 degrees so thermostat to do. Not had EGR for many years. Only fault I pick up is EGR of course and for...

I posted yesterday about low heater temperature but re post having learnt more in the hope a TD5 expert can help! I have previously been trying to sort out a lack of ooomph! up hills it is gutless and I suspect top end though it is not pushed fast on the whole. It does seem over 70 is just runs...

The heater in the truck is barely getting warm......on form it is roasting. We have the climate control, dual. Each side goes cold on low but on hot only just get slightly warm air to blow. The truck gets to temperature so it is not running cold....middle of gauge. I know I have had this issue...

thanks, yes I am waiting on a fusebox then that will be done. I will trace the wiring back from the sensor on the top of the manifold, I am not sure where it gets bundled within the loom but will go as far as I can. Thanks again.

Bit of an update and it is worth noting I had another post about indicators/hazards not working and a strange emblem in bottom left of mileometer LCD......no idea if this is all related. I have now got that emblem and no central locking or remote locking! The alarm/imobiliser by the way I had...

Thanks, I will get some live data readings and come back over the coming days and post back. My reference to the boost gauge reading was for two reasons. First to show it has boost and if there is a leak it is only small but secondly the boost has dropped to where you say the limited amount in...

Thanks to you both, the 18-19 psi I had set previously when working on the truck. Strangely the lower 15 psi boost has only manifested SINCE changing the sensor on the manifold. I may put back the old one I took out to see what happens. I only removed it because I had the over pressure code all...

I understand that explanation thanks........but driving it does hold steady boost

it has boost...15psi. Dont think it has a leak.
