Hi,
My TD5 simple looses all possible acceleration/power when driving.
It is not totally crippling and only happens at a certain amount of rev's I think.
When the engine is static/just starting/low speeds, the turbo spools and the landy pulls well. However in 3rd 4th and 5th when accelerating there is a blatently obvious stop in acceleration and the engine does not recover the ability to spool the turbo or accelerate.
4th gear is about 45-50mph and it stops and 5th is 55-60mph. Full tilt the thing is only capable of 65mph down hill.
I checked the hoses and can't see any obvious leaks, there is evidince of a ever so slight oil leak out of the lower oil pipe to the turbo (is it return or feed?)
Pretty stumped, I can tighten bolts and rip of rusty bits but whizzy bits and electronics confuse me :doh:. Please help...
Thanks
