Hi can anyone help me I have a year 2000 2.8td fiat based motorhome & have lost a lot of power , very slow on the pickup & will not rev right out can not get over 60 mph on the flat & if any sort of incline it will not pull in 5th gear I have to drop to 4th & max speed 50 mph its like the turbo is not working, its nice & smooth there is no strange noises from the engine but when stopped & out of gear engine revs fine till about 3000 rpm then seams to misfire & puff black smoke

Check for boost leaks after the turbo, in the hoses and intercooler. Also check the actuator and wastegate aren't stuck on the turbo. Worth looking at the air filter too the pcv can blow oil into the air filter.
