I keep on having to top it up with just over half a kettle of water every month, I’m currently using water as I don’t want to waste money on coolant if it’s just going to disappear, I have no wet carpets, no oil mixing and no smoke at all out of the exhaust. I think I have found the problem the...

The car is getting a remap soon want about 200bhp with egr delete, I cleaned out the egr and was surprised to how much carbon buildup there was in there! it was very bad and by the looks of it the inlet manifold is going to be worse, think I’m going to take the inlet manifold off very soon and...

Thank you for your input I’m going to give it a good clean today and see if it improves after, if not I’ll buy a new one, it could be sticking or a lot of carbon build up inside

Just been out in the car and it seems bit better, but there’s not much happening under 2500rpm then when you go past this it pulls hard, turbo isn’t making any strange noises and doesn’t smoke at all, I’ll have a look at the egr today

The car was fine earlier but just went back out in it and now it’s down on power hasn’t lost loads of power but it’s noticeable lost some of the pull it used to have anyone experienced this before and can someone point me in the right direction that I need to look into please I’m handy with tools.

Thanks for you help mate, I’ve found them on American eBay so going to buy some or I might even get a wrapping shop to custom make me some don’t see why they won’t be able to make me some stick on ones

The car is running good again now since fuel filter change, no problems starting and starts quicker now and also has abit more power, the previous owner must not have changed it for a good few years. I’m happy with the car now, also only run her on premium diesel

Just getting the new filter on now the amount of black crap that was in it is unbelievable really black inside and it was an old cheapo unbranded filter hopefully she runs better now, booked her in for a terraclean aswell

Thanks for everyone’s input much appreciated she having a new fuel filter fitted today as the problem is getting worse cars started hesitating / bucking every now and then when I put my foot down was doing it on the motorway so definitely seems like fuel filter to me as it looks like it hasn’t...
