Question for the pro's.
Got a 1996 300tdi 130,000miles. De-egr'd, new fuel lines, lift pump, fuel filter. recent oil and oil filter change. Starts fine, runs lovely. The only problem is when pulling away it is quite sluggish and has very little power. On a steep hill start the engine comes close to stalling unless I let the revs build up really high and then drop the clutch.
As soon as the revs reach about 2000 - 2500 rpm it roars into life and pulls like a train, but anything much below 2000 and its totally gutless. Is this normal ? I'm guessing it's not.
Anyone know what might be causing this or know of a fix?
