bobtailrangie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 We have a bit of an update to this, problem has got slightly worse in the fact it used to be ok with just snorkel top removed but that doesnt work now,the combinations that allow full power etc at present are as follows Airbox with filter but no airbox end Snorkel direct to turbo without airbox or snorkel top Any other combination causes top hose to flatten + lose all power Its not exactly economical either to be honest The 300tdi we put in chris' s land rover came from an auto discovery so it had the edc fuel pump, this was removed + the mechanical 200 pump was used instead The engine was only able to be tested in 1st gear in the disc due to a shot autobox however all was fine + chris has this problem in all gears including 5th Immediately it makes sense to say the pump is only thing different so thats the cause however I have done alot of searching + found people that have use either pump on either engine + pump timing etc is the same too, but one person has said they are different although gave no reason why Id like to think it is as easy as swapping the pump to a mechanical 300 pump yet I realy dont see that being the issue Another problem is that last week it started pumping out smoke of all different colours which im yet to go take a look Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
