200TDi power loss when warm

--- Quote from: "Fizzy Pig" ---Also discovered my snorkel is not fully air tight which is a major bonus before I go more than 4 feet under ( got damn close to it last weekend too).

Don't want it airtight, you want it watertight mate!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D
hobbit:
Try running without the fuel cap on, just the once
It may be making a seal and not venting
Fizzy Pig:
Graham2306 - Good point!!! :oops: Thanks!
Hobit - I'll give it a go with out the fuel cap. Now you mention it when I take the fuel cap off to fill up there is a pretty major in rush of air.
I have done a number of runs this weekend and again today to work along the same stretch I normally have problems but none at the moment. But it may well be I am just masking the real problem.
Cheers guys I will let you know :)
hobbit:
Sometimes these systems block up on the cap or breather, and can cause this problem with vacuum, its all a case of trial and error
Range Rover Blues:
Did you say it runs better with the snorkel partly blocked? that's not right. A diesel should be able to breath very easily, the power is controled by the amount of fuel added, the volumetric efficiency should be as high as possible in all situations.
