slugish 200 tdi

<< < (2/2)

remove it then back flush it ( top to bottom) with parrafin or petrol
i usually fil them with petrol and leave for a hour
then give it a good old shaking
and tip away the crud
refit but then leave the top hose off
start it up and leave it running abit, the slight draft and heat generated by the turbo will dry it out

If you know how, check the fuel pump diagphram for perishing & splits.  Only do this if you know what you are doing & mark everything so goes back in same place.   ;)

Hi
Once you have exhausted the fuel/air system checks I would be checking the timing.  I had this on my 200 so I know it can cause the symptoms you have because I had the same.

The 200 TDi has a nasty habit of the bottom pulley bolt on the crank coming slightly loose (normally caused by the sudden cooling when fording) this allows the vee belt pulley and the timing belt pulley to chater together leading to movement between the crank and the pulley mating faces.  This in turn (over time) can cause the key way in the both pulleys to become elongated and in my case, the crank shaft too. The movement I had was about 10-15 deg, dosen't sound a lot but once I changed the components and timed it up properly it went like a train.
As an asside my 1993 200 went better than my current 1998 300
 
Good luck

Tony
