Howdy folks,
Ive been lurking here looking at guides etc byt never really posted.
Ive checked alot of other posts for power loss from the JTD engines but nothing matches up.
I had driven to the back of beyonds in Donegal for a weekend break and no issues.
I went to leave at 9am on a sunday morning and everything was fine.
I drove half a mile up the lane from where I was staying and stopped at the junction.
When i went to pull away it was as if i was trying to pull away in 3rd. Power was non existant!
Rolled back, took it out of gear, made sure it was in first and still nothing different.
The car creeped forwards and with the pedal to the metal nothing happened except a billow of blueish/grey smoke (not thick).
Nothing that i can see wrong, and no warning light.
Parked the car back at the house (long tootle - car wouldnt rev above 1300rpm or so) and it was easier to not use the throttle at all and gear shift up....
Now the car is back with my mechanic (long drive and begging a car trailer).
Nothing is showing up on the diagnostic!!!!!
Immediate thoughts are check MAF and gas return....
But why is nothing registering on teh diagnostic?????
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
