TD5 Power Loss
drum:
Think it's a drop the tank job, but it is now a dealer problem. I've admitted I've done all I can, and handed it over. I'm not happy about it, but let's see what they say.
Jimbo:
Is it still under warranty, or are you parting with hard earned readys ?
I did have another thought (not sure if it's been mentioned yet) - what about the turbo/intercooler pipes delaminating/collapsing. I've heard that as the engine sucks in more air, the pipes can close down on themselves, though other than swapping them out, I can't see how you'd look at them when you were ragging along at 50mph !!!

If this was the case then you'd be getting a lot of black smoke (usually)....
As the engine would be overfuelling.

Yup, to get to the TD5 Fuel pump it's a tank off job :roll:

Still under Warranty, so they're problem now, sadly I've had to admit defeat for now.
