Thread: TD5 Starving of Fuel

More info needed -

Have you checked fuel filter, fuel pump operation, fuel pressure etc?

Mileage done?
Have symtoms appeared gradually or suddenly?
Are you sure your problem is fuel starvation?

The more info you supply, the more likely you'll receive an informed answer and possible solution to yoiur problem.

it's only done 215kms

fuel filter ok fuel pump ok air filter ok.

it only pick up around 3500rpm, blow heaps of black smoke tried another ecu still the same?

MAF sensor?

If it's blowing black smoke it's not suffering fuel starvation.

Delaminating turbo hoses is one possible cause.

Other things worth checking are turbo hoses and, I think it's called the turbo boost regulator, which I think is only on Disco Td5's and not Defenders.

I have just undone the MAF it has made a big differnce looks like i have to get a new one. can you get them non-gen in Aust?

You can indeed, but I would just buy a genuine Seimens one from a specialist such as roverparts.com.au
