Hi There,
Newbie here, please be gentle!!!
I've just picked up an '04 td5 110 tipper for farm use (basically a posh wheelbarrow, lol)
I'm not going to be doing many miles with it, but that said I want it to be right, and to that end i want to address it's gutlessness. Now don't get me wrong, i was expecting it to be slow, but Come on......
it takes absolutely forever to come on boost, doesn't produce much power when it does get there, and when you change gear (after holding onto the revs until it isn't giving any more) it drops right off the power again and doesn't gain ANY speed for several seconds.
This surely can't be right for a semi-recent engine, can it???
in what order should i be addressing things (going from cheap>expensive)
EGR valve removal (which kit? who to get it off? likelihood of a good result?)
Intercooler clean (just removal, upend and a load of brake cleaner???)
MAF/MAP clean?
that is about the extent of my googlage, any other suggestions? is this a common occurance or am i just better off going to a specialist? (West Mids, who is good?)
Help please!!!
Sorry to be so needy on my first post, hopefully i'll develop into a productive member of the community as my experience with these cars increases.
