TD5 Power Loss
Xtremeteam:
--- Quote from: "smo" ---It was only the really really early TD5's that suffered the oil in loom problem, and not even all of them suffered.
I've nto herd of anything post 2000/2001 having loom problems :)
--- End quote ---
not gonna argue with you but i know that any td5 is a potention oil in the loom candidate
Skywalker:
My TD5 currently won't cruise much above 50mph when warm cos' the temperature gauge shoots into the red and the power dies, it's only momentary and I presume it's the engine managment system cutting in to stop any damage from overheating.
I'm pretty sure it's because of all the crap n' mud still in the radiator fins that's the cause ................... now mater how much I jet wash it can't seem to get the back clean ........... looks like it's gonna have to come off and have a soak in the bath 8) .....So that mean's waiting for a weekend whem the Mrs is at work and hopefully it ain't poring down :roll:
I suspect Drum's problem's a little different cos' we've talked about this before, he did suffer a similar thing a while back but that proved to be an airlock.
Hope it ain't the Head Gasket matey :shock: ................ i'll clean mi' spanners just in case :wink:

Temperature guage is stable, I've had the airlock problem before. and solved it.
Checked the turbo actuator today, and that looks alright. I believe there is a flywheel sensor in the bellhousing that can be a problem so that will be next on my list.
Only problem with taking it to a stealer is if it is self inflicted they charge you nearly £100 to tell you to get stuffed!!! Had it done recently with a wheel bearing (Long story) So really I want to know what the problem is, and if it is likely to be me that's caused it before I take it to them.
vtrdaz:
to be sure you really need to get it on the diagnostics - i had a similar problem which ended up being the throttle pedal.
Do you have an independant that can check the diagnostics for you?

I guessing a few of them can, but it all costs money, so I'd rather eliminate the obvious first.
