Help! Power & acceleration dropped

[Tezza33]

You only have to time the cam and crankshaft pulleys on a JTD engine, it doesn't matter where the injector pump pulley is set.
If the camshaft was out one or two teeth there would be an almighty clatter from the valves hitting the pistons so I doubt it is the timing belt, I would think they haven't replaced sensor wires, either way I would be calling the garage that did the work today

Yes, as a mere amateur bodger rather than a qualified mechanic, I was thinking that with a diesel engine having such a high compression ratio even one tooth out on the timing belt would be catastrophic - it's not a non-intereference engine.
I would discount a split in the turbo hose. When that happened on my old Mondeo a few years back it made enough noise to wake the whole neighbourhood.
I agree that it's likely that a sensor is disconnected. It might be worth a quick look under the bonnet for anything obvious like that.
This won't be a JTD engine though will it Tezza? It's a Peugeot base. I know they are all from the Sevel factory, but I think the engines are different.

Yeah that’s a good point

Although I have to say, I’d like to believe that they would except Both my word & the word of another Garage....But Yep I Agree that if a Fault code does come up, I will Phone them there & then.
[/QUOTE

I WOULD PHONE THEM TODAY ZOMBIE...........waste no time and tell them of the fault...after paying all that money....they should have given it back to you without any fault......obviously they didnt road test it first....the sooner you phone them (probably not open saturday today) however leave a message then call first thing monday morning...................DONT trust that your word or another garage word would be acceptable to them.......they left you long enough in giving you a rough price for the job etc......good luck....so sorry that youare having all this problems..take care

if it was running alright before it wen t into the garage....then it should have run ok when it came out of the garage...............something they have got wrong perhaps

Hope it gets fixed soon, keep the troops informed

It will be the same principal though, HDI engines are common rail the same as fiat so the injector timing comes from the ECM, they would have locked the flywheel at TDC so the camshaft pulley is easy to set, then turned the engine by hand to check again after a few rotations so any mechanic worth his salt could do it

Could be drawing air at the filter if not tightened properly. I would start at the diesel filter.

My word there’s some really knowledgeable Guys on here. I just think it’s it’s a tired Hamster that’s fallen off it’s wheel

Has it got cc if so it also has a limiter. Turn that off. Job done

Hi ya 1 Cup,
Sorry but what does ‘CC’ mean....Cruise Control maybe?,
No, it hasn’t

 

[1 Cup]

Yes cc

 

[Nesting Zombie]

No cc

You've not got a carpet or mat ridden up u near the throttle pedal Paul or a mat?
stopping full throttle
can you get someone to push the throttle pedal to the floor and check the pump lever is fully open ,this is with the engine off!
they can be adjusted on the cable outer ,theres a wee clip that can be moved or maybe moved ?

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Do you know what, I TOTALLY understand exactly what you mean, And TBH it was the first thing I checked Just in case. But sadly NO I haven’t.
& the Mats I’ve fitted have been down a cpl of Months, The Lack of Power has only been a day or so.
So I’m guessing it’s a Cable or Loose connection that the Garage Guys Have disturb during the work, But I’m hoping that the Diagnostic thingy can tell me if that’s the case & if so, which one
Will definitely have a look at the Pump lever though

 

[trevskoda]

Looks like a bunch of yahoos that did not do a test run before handing back, get it back to there yard asap.

 

[campervanannie]

Mine did this 2 years ago very sluggish up hill and not that much better on the flat and it was something called a waste gate that was clogged up the mechanic cleaned all the gunge off it and it run ok after that apparently it’s not something that the engine management system can detect but it stops the turbo working least I think that’s what he said.

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Thanks for that Annie work mentioning

Just read your posts on a difficult year and noticed that yours is a 1999 2.5 Peugeot so it doesn't have a common rail engine so ignore the above, I thought it was a later model and the common rail engine was introduced in 2002
Yours could be any of the following

Unfortunately, it will not have the OBD11 port either so a diagnostics code reader will not help, Fiat Ducato's of that year have a 3pin plug at the side of the air filter near the ECU

it can be read using one of these

and this

to link to a laptop,

Peugeot's are different though but your garage should still be able to help, I use the items shown for my 2002JTD

On yours, the mechanic would have used a timing kit that includes locking pins for the injector timing pulley, I still don't think that they got it wrong and I still think it has something to do with the fuel filter, if it doesn't have a sensor it could be sucking air in
sorry for any confusion[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

This is what I like about this forum everybody trying to help, keep it up

Sunday in NZ.
Stay in the campground and ring them Monday morning and get them to send a mechanic out.
