TD5 Power Loss
drum:
But is it THE problem. or just a problem :?
drum:
Runs a bit smoother I reckon, but didn't fix ought :( :(
Ohwell looks like I might buy myself an OBD reader.
Porny:
Doh.... problem not fixed then :cry:
Just find a good independent specialist.... shouldn’t be that much for them to plug it into their computer....
Though in saying that, your own reader would be nice…:wink:
I keep thinking that I should buy my own Rovacom lite set-up!!!
drum:
I looked at Rovacom Lite a few months back, but you're really looking a spending 1k+ to get a decent setup. Stuff I'm thinking about are basic fault reader plug into a PocketPC, and allow you to reset faults, and read error codes. Anybody any experience of them??
LOFTY:
This might help, if your boost pressure from turbo is at the limit the sensor will allow, (14 psi i think), then under load your boost hits 14 psi, and the ECU say, "no" and cuts power down, it feels like you have lost 25% of your power.
Just adjusted the linkage on waste gate, so it cut in earlier, and all was ok.
As for Skywalkers problem, my TD5 use to suddenly go into the red, would run at normal all day, then wack into red, the stain on water bottle made it look like there was water in it, there wasnt, so when i topped it up, next time it hit red, it blew all water out of bottle. Turns out the head gasket had gone, but due to the position of gauge sender, you can run with a half empty radiator, and the temperature gauge will show normal, until combustion gases from head gasket blowing force some water upto sender, then it hits red in about 5 seconds.
I was lucky, only gasket gone, but the heads are common for cracking. :?
