Problem TD5 Defender has no power

Hi,

I bought a TD5 defender 1999 model. The problem is that it has less power than the Tdi 300 I had. I bought it at a Landrover dealer and they acknowledge that it has a serious lack of power but so far could not find out what the reason for this lack of power is.

Is there a list of tests that can be done to pinpoint the problem? The dealer so far has looked at the air input, fuel quality and has done some tests on the ECU but nothing out of the ordinary.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

regards Jan

Get them to check the intercooler hose for a small leak or split.

Thanks Pat,

I assume the intercooler hose you refer to must be the pipe connection between the turbo charger and the intercooler?

Cheers Jan
