hey FF, i've given up on joining other forums for stuff as they never quite match up to here! anyway, i'm having some trouble with my primera
the car's a '05 2.2 dci primera, been using 100% biodiesel for a few month now too with no problems.
however, i've noticed in the higher gears higher up the rev range the car will suddenly stop accelerating as if the turbo has suddenly stopped boosting, if i hold my foot to the floor it will just stay at whatever speed the turbo stopped at, if i let my foot off the accelerator and put it back on straight away it'll boost again and accelerate.
i've never actually changed the fuel filter on the car since i got it, it has had regular oil and filter changes though, i'd love to find it was a blocked fuel filter (bio diesel tends to clean the crap out of your tank and leave it in the filter)
obviously, worst scenario it could be the turbo!
any help on this would be greatly appreciated
any ideas before i trade it in?
i quite fancy selling this and the GF's punto, and buying a multijet panda.
