Tractorman Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 strange fault on my 300tdi . Short run around town, parked up, restarted and would only tickover. no power, wouldnt rev at all. Left it running and popped the bonnet, only to see the rubber hoses on the intercooler collapsed. turned off and restarted - everything ok again, hoses looked fine. So, something was restricting the airflow, but cleared. Hasn't come back since anyone had anything similar? airfilter clean, no obvious restriction there. Anything I should be looking for?

Blanco Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Never had the problem, but first instinct says check the hose that collapsed for signs of delamination inside at the point where it happened, oil contamination is common and may have affected the interior?

Tractorman Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 it was both top hoses, but I can't get it to do it again, even if its hot or under load. That's what I can't understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 i had that happen once, a big washer had managed to get into the inlet hose and got sucked against the impeller. didnt end well for the turbo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
