LATEST: all old parts re-fitted, same symptoms. So, I tipped a forte diesel treatment in the tank, put £40 worth of fresh fuel in it and it goes like a rocket! I think it was a bad batch of diesel at ASDA :thumb2

So, I got in it the next morning an it drive like nothing had happened :nenau I've but the old maf back on and re-created the original fault, going to try the new on back on next. Could the power loss have been some kind of air block left over from the fuel filter change? :nenau

changed the leak of pipes not long ago. and the loss of power was so sudden, I'm going to try putting the old MAF back on, I suspect the new one might have failed - it was a cheap copy one :nenau

it doesn't feel buggered, we changed the filter yesterday and it worked fine :nenau

The saga continues! New glow plugs, new MAF, checked fuel lines, new fuel filter, cleaned out air filter, no fault codes present. it was still chugging and kicking white smoke at about 1800 rpm if you hit the throttle hard. we suspected bad fuel, and as there wasn't much in, I headed to the...

Interesting: government fuel efficiency figures claim the same MPG for the 2.7 and the 3.0 and so do Nissan (can't remember where I read that though) I have noticed the slight performance difference is most probably down to axel ratios, but all the failed axels and diffs I have see are on the...

No, but I spoke to a nice battery technician who had when I chose the battery for mine, I did a thread on it on here :thumbs

if it doesn't you can have it for £28 :lol

Ta Rick, that was my thought, and it looks like the right one too :thumb2

I suspect a faulty MAF, mine is 2004 TDi with Bosch electrics - does this look worth a try? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330498037917?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

oh, and I have the same problem and the same new battery didn't fix it, alternator is fine, no drains on the system - but if I use it for a few short runs or leave it standing it's dead :nenau

numax and lucas are the same batteries, made in the same factory, numax just pay Lucas to use the brand name hence the slightly higher price :thumb2

I will also inspect the fuel lines! :thumb2

Ta, Rick, I'll look into getting a new one. is that the same whether its being driven or standing still?

so is the MAF now the prime suspect? :nenau

it's a bosh!

To be honest it just feels a bit lumpy - what does a faulty number 1 injector do?

It was doing it before plugs yes, Should I drive it with the MAF unplugged to see what happens?

OK - found two dead glow plugs so we put a whole new set in - slight improvement! NEW SYPTOMS! when revved between 1500-2000 is splutters and blows white smoke. This only seems to be if revved suddenly not it you take it up gradually, unplugging maf doesn't not change the fault ???

Sounds good to me too :thumb2
