TD5 Power Loss

<< < (12/12)

vtrdaz:
did you get the problem sorted out?

drum:
Yes, but I didn't get a satisfactory answer.

The problem has gone away, they blamed a clogged air-filter. They were instructed not to change the air-filter (or clean it), cos I would sort it out. Cos obviously a blocked air filter ain't warranty and I'm not paying £100 per hour for someone else to do it. But if the same air filter is in it (Which it is, or atleast it's still a KN Filter), how come the problem has gone away??  :?  :?

Also don't you think that when I was messing with air-flow meters, and checking the sensors (there is one in the Air box) that I would have noticed the blocked filter  :?:

Vacuum pump was fixed under warranty (whole new alternator job on one of these)

I then got it back for a week, and I blew a cv joint on the way to work. They have now had it 3 weeks to change an CV Joint!!! I reckon the job is 4 hours if you do it by the books, reading each step as you go.


At the moment I'm so fed up with the TD5, that I bought a 1985 NA Diesel. which is a nice Computer\Warranty free zone.  :D
