afternoon all
looking for a bit of advise, just been to dorset for a week with the caravan and she towed lovely which I hope means that getting the head done and fitting the additional ATF cooler has sorted that.
now the bad news
coming home I was climbing a steady gradient, with the caravan on the back of course, and she seemed to lose a lot of power and checking my mirrors, she was throwing out loads of thick black smoke.
Once at the top of the hill she seemed fine (no overheating) but just down on power when I would normally expect the turbo to come on and again loads of black smoke out the exhaust.
As she normally doesn't smoke at all I got worried so stopped and called for recovery home.
She's in the loacl import specialist today to see what's going on but I just wanted t oget any input from members who might be able to shed some light on what's wrong.
As it's black smoke then I'm assuming it's overfuelling which would normally indicate that it's either the injector pump or the turbo. She starts as normal and runs OK until you step on the acelerator and then black smoke again
anyone got any idea's????? if it is the turbo anyone know where I can get one
