Don't disconnect or remove that one, or the engine will no longer start.  Only the stuff above it, if you choose to. |
The last car i am comparing it to is our v70 d5 so its got alot to live up to haha
I am a petrol man through and through but chose a diesel as its mpg is justified.
If i am honest i really need to test the car and see how she is boosting. It does not feel like the turbo kicks in at times and i suspect its mostly just the power curve that helps it pick up. Like i said testing definitely needed over speculation ey.
Is it worth blanking off the egr also? If so how do i do it.
If it is boosting right could i do anything at all to liven it up without pushing it? My Lovely lady calls it dangerously slow and misses the d5. I feel it's guttless at certain points too. Certainly does not keep up with modern traffic well.
I wanted it to have a bit more oophh as compared to the old 325tds i had it feels wofully slow.
I think with a good suspension set up and bushes it willl be a lovely fun car to drive
Thanks
Again
