Hi, I'm new to the forum.
I've had a look through all the relevant posts I can find, and it looks as though I might be in a grey area.
The Car has been great pulling a heavy van around queensland for 10,000k.
Driving home on the highway, no van, just cruising, engine noise suddenly changed to that of an old diesel engine, power drops off, and engine warning light comes on. Managed to limp home at reduced speed. Car did not overheat..
Checked water in fuel filter. OK
Checked oil, it was low but not enough to be a problem.
Turbo seems OK but boost is low.
have a dawes setup fitted, normally pressure max is 15psi, but now has difficulty achieving 10psi. Dont think it has anything to do with the turbo though.
Easter long weekend so no one working.
Hoping someone might be able to help, if not, next stop Diesel specialist in Nambour.
Cheers.
