Thread: 300tdi loss of power

Cheers.

Mmm was there some White smoke from the back end

As It sounds like you may have Got a bit of water in the engine

orrr,
perhaps water about the fuel cut solenoid made it a touchy connection clicking the solenoid in and out. Once dried it was happy?

-Id be pulling the airbox and seeing if any water is at/past the filter.
-If not then check the connection on the fuel cut solenoid at the injection pump.

'tis only gonna be one of the two! Once running air and dieso is all it needs!
