When the power's out...
thermidorthelobster:
Driving back from Newcastle yesterday I noticed the TD5 wasn't pulling too well on the hills.
I've yet to plug the Nanocom in, but last time I checked the live readings were all looking fine.
It's just clocked 90K miles; I'm wondering about the hoses?
What's the procedure for flushing the intercooler? Is it easy?
Anything else worth checking? The turbo sounds fine but I'm not sure how I tell if it's working as it should be.

might be worth checking the turbo? my mates let go spectacularly at 95,000 miles on his td5 turning day to night with all the smoke as he went down the M4 :shock:

just undo the hoses on the intercooler and wash it through, make sure there is nothing in there when you put it back. In theory it should have nothing in it.....
