Hi. 54 Plate 1.9 JTD with 66,000 on the clock.
A week or so ago lost power a couple of times but ran okayish until yesterday.
Keeps losing power and running badly. Have cleaned out the EGR which needed it to say the least but this has not fixed the problem.
Engine dies and is then difficult to start - and when it does lots of diesel smoke.
I have noticed a valve with a push arm on the inlet manifold, which when pushed gives the same symptoms - anyone know what this valve is? It seems to activate when the engine is cut and makes a popping noise - never noticed it previously.
Any advice and help with this problem will be greatly appreciated. Promise to post the final problem and fix when I know what it is!
Can confirm that the turbo and head gasket all seem fine.
Thanks to you all
