    I suffer from similar issues. Check your lift pump. What boost are you achieving? Do you have any boost leaks? Check the diaphragm isn't split inside the boost compensator on your fuel pump. I fitted a boost gauge and identified that I'm only producing .4-.5 bar boost max. I think I have a...

    Cooper Discoverer STT for me. Reasonably priced and proven to go everywhere all others have gone with more expensive boots.

    Turbo fault diagnosis required please.......

    Tried looking for potential boost leaks today to no avail. However, I did notice that most of the fins both on my radiator and intercooler were missing so I decided to purchase replacements today. I'm thinking that the loss of boost could well be a result of my corroded intercooler. Hopefully...

    Turbo fault diagnosis required please.......

    If I didn't have cause to think that there was a problem I would agree but I don't think it is necessary given that performance is way down. It literally confirms my thoughts.

    Turbo fault diagnosis required please.......

    I have had concerns over the poor performance of my 300 TDi. I have changed lift pumps etc to no avail. So I decided to fit a boost gauge and guess what......I'm only seeing .4-.5 bar boost pressure under load. I have checked my turbine and there is a tiny bit of vertical play and minimal...

    Fitting boost gauge

    I have seen a number of different location where owners have tapped their t-connections into the boost system: a) Between actuator and turbo b) Between turbo and fuel pump boost compensator Will both provide the same readings? My thoughts are yes but thought I'd seek clarification before I...

    How often should injectors and glow plugs be changed???

    Looking to improve performance....

    The issue I have is that there is a distinct lack of pull especially going up hill the speed sharply drops off. I have checked the lift pump and all would appear well. However, the turbo also leaks oil as already discussed but it also makes a higher pitched noise than it used to. All boost pipes...

    Looking to improve performance....

    Performance has dropped quite significantly recently and feel my turbo has had it's day. When I did the timing belt I noticed a lot of oil in the boost pipes post turbo so presume the seals have gone. I also noticed upon removing my radiator that most of the fins on my radiator/intercooler were...

    Lost my cherry.....

    I c I certainly am. I couldn't tell you where we ended up as I was merely following a friend who knows the lanes well. We ended up in Corwen though I can tell you that much and visited the Corwen carwash for a quick clean following our day of exploration.
