Hi, I've got a 2006 2.0d X type and it seems to be really slow getting off the mark, this has happened all of a sudden. There is no black smoke and the engine management light has not come on, anybody have any ideas please? Thanks, Mart

Hi Martin, 

My son had the same problem with his 2006 x type 2.0d,  and it gradually got worse till it had no real acceleration.  He thought it was the turbo failing, and I thought it was somewhat slightly different and cheaper.

Eventually he stopped googling and got my mechanic to look at it and it was found to be a split pipe ---  one of those going from the manifold to the turbo.

You could have the same problem.  Just start the engine and see if you can hear a whistle or feel a leak.

Let us know how you get on.

Regards,

Peter,

Thanks Peter, I think I can hear a leak, I'm going to have a good look on Sunday when I'm off. I'll let you know how I get on, best regards, Martin

 

Hi Martin,

You can get the part from eBay quite cheaply if it is the bit that is leaking,

Peter.

Hi Peter, you were spot on! Found about a two inch split in that pipe, looks very awkward to get to so I'll get the part from ebay and get the local garage to fit it. Thanks again!

Martin

Glad it is sorted, Marttin.

It is awkward to get to,  -  my mechanic fitted my sons -- actually repaired it with tape and is fitting the new on next week if it gets there from eBay!

Peter.
