Re: Turbo advice

Just put in "poor diesel performance" in search engine..directed me to Rover site. Someone with similar problem to mine was told MAF sensor was to blame? Anyone experienced this problem?

Turbo advice

Hi , My 2ltr hdi 406 feels like the turbo not working? Drives like normally aspirated engine. Drives ok on flat,but sluggish on gradients etc. No "kick/boost" . Are there any checks I can make?

Re: Blue smoke on start-up

Clutch hadnt been changed ,maybe cos it has not been started for nearly 2 wks? Not much experience with owning and maintaining diesels,all my previous cars were petrol. But this is tipical valve stem leakage? Normally not a major issue??
