all the hoses have been checked, im refiling the water bottle about half inch every three days or so is it possible my head has gone cos i think mines gona lol :frusty:..... Rachael
 
no water in oil or either way i have no idea about this but i damn well know it should be towing better than it is ! there just seems to be no power on a straight you will luckily get 70 mph uphill your knackered and towing
 
the problem is i cant tow at 40 let alone 60 lol it just has no pulling power at all i was going up one hill with the trailer on and it kept stalling it just would not budge and that was in first it just died....... Rachael

coolant useage isn't great but it sounds more like a blocked or holed intercooler, split or delaminated turbo hose, knackered egr valve or blocked fuel/air filter/s to me. Can you hear the turbo spooling up? is there any smoke out the exhaust? if so what colour? when did you last change the filters? how bad were they? does it have the egr removed?
 
hi i have never really been able to hear the turbo whistle like i can my friends the filters have all been changed recently and there is a little white smoke out of the exhaust now and again the egr is still there
