  • Power down

    Noticed yesterday on a long run that I seem to be down on power. It's not noticeable really until I get above about 40mph or so and try to accelerate hard (or as hard as these things can!)

    There's a big increase in noise and revs, kickdown works, but there's very little ooomph. Gentle inclines on A roads now need more throttle to maintain speed, and its difficult to get above 60 or so except on the flat.

    It's not the fuel filter as I changed it recently, also filling it full of redex as always. I'm using 100% dino at the mo so its not thick veggie.

    First couple of thoughts are :-

    A split hose related to the turbo - only seems to be when I demand full boost.

    Shitty injectors - never had them cleaned and have been using veggie mixes for a few years - however, there's no smoke.

    Soooo, I'm gonna have a look for split hoses now, but has anyone got any other ideas?

    Sticking brakes?
    Tyre pressures low?

        Close but you're way off...

        Just found this. Next question. As the plastic nipple the pipe attaches to has broken off, does anyone have one of these doobries to sell me?!

        <edit> Bushy, checked tyre pressures on friday. 34psi all round.

        Sanch, did ATF change about 6 months ago, and have cooler fitted.

            hehe, that'll explain the lack of power / better fuel consumption then

            Cheers Nev.
