Typical 300Tdi engine power problems ?

Normally LR set the diaphram to the minimum setting and a 90 degrees turn clockwise will do it for the standard intercooler. 180 degrees will take you to max fuel. :wink:

Really....
Both my current 300Tdi 90 and my previous 200Tdi ran the diaphragm at the max position. Both put out a small amount of black smoke, nothing very major though... both also sailed through MOT's without a problem.
My 200Tdi did have the turbo boost wound up a bit though :wink: but my 300Tdi is still relatively standard at the moment (not for long though... have a few plans for the turbo)
In saying that, I've know of 300Tdi's with big intercoolers that smoke too much with the diaphragm set to max.
To say you can't run it at max is a bit of a sweeping statement, as most of it comes down to the individual vehicle... covering things like the condition of the injectors, the set up of the rest of the pump, timing etc etc.
It's more of a case of suck it and see :wink:

I didn't say you can't, I said:

I agree with the "suck it and see" thing though.
I've only done the intercooler and injector pump tweeks to date, I left the turbo alone. It has enough power for what I need, and that's a lot more than it had when I started. :wink:

Yep that's what I did. I should add to what I said above that the dot was at the minimum mark on the cylinder, I removed it to check 1st, so mine has been assembled correctly, therefore mine smoked like a trooper on max. Couldn't live with it like that.
Good thread reply tho Porny :-)

I found the main fuel adjustment near the fuel lines was enough to transform my Disco, only takes a few mins to do, did Jakes Disco in the woods with a chainsaw screwdriver and some BBQ tools :(bigshock):
I'm only in Slough...... 8)
