Hi folks

I've been having problems when trying to acclerate up hills or even hold speed at revs over 2.5k in 4th and 5th.I just lose power until it hits around 2250 and then speeds up again.THis is getting really annoying.
Thought it would be the boost solenoid so replaced that but no joy.
had the turbo replaced about 8 weeks ago but the crank breather was only done a few days ago cos the garage didnt know about it.
Any ideas guys

Help is always appreciated

could be an issue with tank, if they have a swirl pot type arrangement-you need to be 110% it is an angle and not a load issue. Fuel filter cheapest easy option

Ya i'm sure its an angle issue.It happens on every hill i come to and only once or twice on the flat but thats only a recent thing.it doesnt matter how much fuel i have in either

Sounds like a failing Lp fuel pump or maybe **** in the tank pick up.....
