Aggrov8 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 TD5 Def Driving at around 8okm -100km freeway in 5th grear, sudden light shuddrings & sluggish/ lethargic feel to motor. Slow down to under 80 problem seems to dissapear – could this be potential fuel pump failure (or worse) waiting to hit me en route to the camp -over? AAARGH – now worried to chance long drive. No sign of fuel leaks etc in engine well. No raised temp guage, slight signs of overflow residue exterior radiator filler bottle. Comments anybody.

Tanuki Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Possibilities: Fuel-filter blocked (either the canister one or the strainer on the end of the pick-up pipe in the tank). Fuel-pump on the way out. Oil in injector/ECU harness. Internally de-laminating turbo-hose blocking airway. Injector copper-washers leaking. My first step would be to change the canister fuel-filter, and do half-a-dozen fuel-system-prime cycles. If the fuel-pump continues to be more-than-usually-audible after all the air's been purged, then I suspect your bank-account is about to feel some pain. --Tanuki.
