Im severely down on power with my 200tdi, used to chuck out black smoke etc under load. Now its pretty clean even labouring up a long hill.
Im suspecting lift pump failure. I have pumped the lever and there doesnt feel like there is any resistance at all, however if i remove the air bleed screw it still spurts out of there.
I should point out the engine still runs great, starts instantly etc and idles no problem. Im guessing the injection pump is still sucking it through but it cant keep up when the turbo kicks in?
How much resistance should there be on the little lever?
