D4d No Power

[roggy]

Hi all sorry that my first question is a problem.

I bought a 2005 d4d t spirit two weeks ago and felt at the time it should have more power ( i changed from 2.5 petrol alfa) but since then it has got worse and will not accelerate in 5th and i have to change down on meeting a long incline. This does not happen in my wife's s40 diesel.

Is it the turbo, injectors or what any help much appreciated.

The car has 72000 miles with fsh. I bought it private.

Thanks mikeytic, i was hoping it wasn't a turbo problem. It runs fine just no real kick. i thought that if a turbo was gone it would show a lot of black smoke under load.

Keep province & county to yourself, but I am quite close to T.Hogan West Coast, might be worth putting car into your local dealer & pay up for an Hr's labour to see if they can find fault. Most people will suggest Injector fault, blocked EGR valve etc etc. And they may well be right, but i would be of a mind to get a proper diagnostic check.

With respect your not hoping Avensis engine is going to come anywhere close to the Alfa 2.5 ltr engine in Power or Torque. The 2.5 is a master piece just to look at let alone drive. Keep us posted with your final Toyota fix.

It's a shame I have had my Avensis up for sale for some time now with no joy (Brilliant Car But Deadly Dull) & go bck to Alfa's a hot 156 maybe, sounds stupid but work for main dealer so am aware of problems Alfa's can throw up at times.

Ya i'll have it looked at in the next week as i want it sorted. When it's sorted i might get it remapped for a bit more power.

not prone for turbos mate and if its the high pressure pump u will not get a code jus need a diagnostic tool to see if fuel pressure drops as u accelerate im pretty sure this will be where u prob lies mate
