Thread: td5 d2 loss of power/ no turbo

I don't know about the codes, but I had a similar sounding problem, after much faffing about it was the rubber hose post turbo delaminated and acting like a flap restricting airflow, had me stuffed for a while as it looked ok

How did you check this? I've tested that the actuator lever on the turbo works, and its all moving freely but now i can't get the coupling lever back onto it! Not sure if I am allowed to lengthen that rod, as it feels a few mm short, but it was originally on there...

When this happened to me it was because leaves were blocking the airbox intake. When the power stops have a look to see how much smoke you're blowing.

I revved the truck in the driveway with my phone under the exhaust and couldn't see any smoke, and cant see any smoke coming out the mirrors when I am driving along the road.

I also disconnected the MAF as I read that this might help, but there was no change to the symptoms... Does anyone have a link to the post turbo pipe, I've tried to google and can't find anything. Is it something that would be replaced if I got an intercooler pipe kit?

Record a log from TD5 instruments and post it on here, then someone can have a look.

I dropped the pipe off to start checking for anything (actually intercooler related initially) and found the pipe sort of felt very soft and when squeezed you could see the little split inside that acted as a restrictor flap when the air speed got up (I thought it would blow outwards, but no, this is Land Rover...) it just basically starved the engine, no real smoke just no zoom zoom

However, when I did have a hose actually split, again low power but enough black smoke to hide an average size destroyer, again, it took a while to find the culprit (right at the disconnected EGR housing)

As others have said, check the inlet path for any restrictions (air box, rats nest in snorkel, collapsed hoses, blocked inter cooler inlet) my thoughts, with no smoke I'd lean towards a restriction more than actually leaking system

I will buy an SD card and a way to put that into my computer the next day I'm in town. How big of a drive do I need to do?
