Thanks will check in the morning.

2006 110 with 300 Tdi Have been losing power slowly over the last month, especially in throttled situations such as overtaking. Now the power loss is spreading to all areas of acceleration including takeoff, etc. I have been chasing fuel problems as there is a normal burst of black smoke at startup but no smoke on attempted acceleration. Thus far, I have changed the lift pump, replaced the air hose from filter to turbo, cleaned sedimenter (nasty), checked injector pump diaphragm, checked and wastegate. Somehow I know there is a shortage of fuel supply for the turbo to be spinning but no smoke. Not sure if it would matter, but about 2 months ago I changed the thermostat and found no thermostat there previously. Would running with no thermostat affect fuel delivery in anyway?!? As far as the wastegate, when the arm was removed the valve moved meta to metal but the swing wasn't very broad. Is this normal? Thanks for any help, I need to get this out of limp stage as it is our daily transportation in western Kenya working with children.
