    300tdi problem

    hey,

    my 300tdi just lost all its power this arvo. i drove it around this morning and it was going really well! Under no load it revs right out with a little whiteish smoke but under load i get no smoke and it fells like i am hitting a rev limiter.

    I have recently done a full service, filters, oils, belts and cleaned out sediment catcher.

    Where should i start looking for problems?

    Lift pump?
    hoses?
    fuel lines?
    Injectors?

    Would like to sort out asap as i want to book the ute in for RWC next week I know this wont stop me as if you drive 'normally' it ok but still down on power.

    errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


    help!!!

    Mick

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.

    whiteish smoke is usually a combustion problem.
    Dodgy fuel, dirty injectors or worse.

    Start with the easy stuff, eg check turbo hoses first.
    Had the one off the turbo blow off just last week, (silicone hoses are slippery little suckers ) but it was a bit obvious with the big whooosh under the bonnet.
