(1/3) > >>

iianorthants:
ooohhh just picked up my 300tdi and on way home it stopped pulling in 5th or anywhere above 50mph, has been sat in garage for and bit and as bank holiday they can't pick it back up till tuesday. has anyone had this sort of problem, it drives fine in 1,2,3,4 but 5th it just has no power like engine is being starved of air or fuel ?

iianorthants:
think I sorted it...... drained the sedimenter and gave it a fresh tank of diesel and seems to be running ok  [-o<

Guy90:
I was about to suggest that. Change the filter as well if it has been standing a while. Diesel goes off.

hobbit:
Yes as Guy says, definately a new filter straight away, also you can put some additive in the tank to help flush the crap out of the injectors and pump, if you drained any water off an emulsifier in the tank will get rid of that too

Then in a couple of thousand miles, for the sake of another fuel filter change it again, bit over cautious I know but better to be sure the system is clear and clean

Cheap as chips anyway, really not worth scrimping on. And that's from mister tight as a gnat's chuff. :(kerching):
