Lacking power

(1/3) > >>

Hi, I have a 200 that has lost power, I have searched on here for solutions, but must be doing something wr as I cant find an answer to my problem

It is guttless, needing to drop it into 4th on the motorway to get up small hills.

I have chaged the lift pump ( slight improvement )

Changed timing belt, and double checked timing

checked fuel lines, including pickup pipes

emptied and cleaned sediment bowel

changed fuel filter

changed air filter

I am at a loss as what to do next, any advice would be greatfully welcomed

wizard:
Check the turbo boost pressure.
Take off the top intercooler to plenum chamber hose and look inside it to see if its started to fall apart.
Check the outlet hose on the turbo hose doesnt have a hole it on the bend.

Disco Matt:
This probably isn't the cause (but will give you back a fair bit of power when you find what is!): Remove the intercooler, flush it with paraffin, allow to dry thoroughly and refit.

lurch_917:
2 other things that could cause this egr if fitted packed up bin it     partical colector (cat) chocked bin it and put a straight thruogh pipe on it
