My fuel cap is a ford/nissan original. Its a very simple screw type no diaphram.
If Im right the breather pipe usually runs from the top of the filler neck to somewhere behind the bumper should just prevent air lock could get choked up??
Do you get exhaust smoke when the power goes??
I am more inclined to think its the filter housing. With the push valve at the top, the seal to the filter and the tap at the bottom seals. would doing other things like loosening the cap be compensating for the real issue??
Have the injector been looked at as vibration on diesels can loosen bits or even snap a metal feed pipe (my transit)

I may be wrong but I think its reading turbo pressure because of the fuel problem not a turbo problem.
Rule out the small stuff first??
Do you use the same fuel station??

Normally when a Turbo fails it fails big time and you know about it! It could be gone and without looking at it I wouldn’t want to say, you could take the pipe off the inlet and look in to see if the vanes are intact and also wobble the shaft, a very small amount of play is normal but any amount indicates failed bearings/shaft.
Out of interest and on another tact have you got an EGR valve on yours?

The EGR valve (Exhaust Gas Recycling) if you have one will be on the rear of the inlet manifold connected to the exhaust manifold via a pipe at the back of the engine.
An easy way to tell its to look between the engine and the air filter where you will see a black solenoid connected to some small rubber tubing, if you have EGR there will be 3 of these solenoids and only one if you don’t have it.
I think 4x4xford is correct on the fuel tank breather probably worth a look as well.

replaced filler cap
had new fuel filter housing
replaced rubber pipe into turbo which was split and some fuel came out
tried replacing boost pressure valve on turbo ( no diffrence)
had three seperate diagnostics done teh llast showed turbo pressure
had a guy look at turbo telling me it had gone

Ok so after talking to you guys i went back to the guy that diagonsed the fault code who suggested we took car to a freind of his to look at turbo for a second opinion. had to wait a week as the guy was so busy. Any how told me today turbo was fine he thinks the gassket manafold is to blame ( What does this do ?) as it was leaking on one side hes going to fix tommorow when part arrives ! fingers crossed . ps thanks for all the advise u may have saved me a lot of money :smile:
