Hi gents have an intermittent loss of power problem.
Was towing my boat home from fishing just cruising along all good.
came to a set of lights and gave car a bootfull to get it moving heaps of black smoke and stuttering did not accelerate much would not change up gear, backed of and eased it up to 100ks seemed ok. every time i put my foot down heavily black smoke very sluggish.
got home check inter cooler hoses and had a poke around under the bonnet could not see anything untoward.
Unhitched boat went for a drive and still suffered the same symptoms had another look still could not see anything obvious.
went for another drive all seemed OK again no smoke good acceleration ??????????
i have the electronic EGR bypass and a chipmydiesel box set on three.
just had service and had timing belt done and balance shaft belt replaced.
The car is still using a little bit of water which may be head gasket could this be the issue ????
Any advice appreciated thanks. Schooner
