Newy to 4x4s

[Newtomavericks]

Hi I'm new to 4x4s. I've recently got a ford maverick. She's an old girl of 20 years the 2.7 TDI. She was in a poor state so had a valet and oil and filter change but she's still chuggy at 2000 revs. Been told may be the fuel filter but open to help!!

Welcome aboard, yep these trucks can go on for ever. Fuel filter can cause that, also a fine mesh filter in the banjo bolt on the injector pump. Loads more tips and info like that on here.

Fuel lines also, could be sucking air

Maf also
And banjo filter

That's great. I'm hoping get her running well. I'll try those. I have absolutely no knowledge of cars so all idiot proof help welcome.

We are not just a club full of technical advice, were a community full of banter too. As Zippy says besides full access to the site there's also the downloads section with manuals and how to guides with membership. It's saved me loads over the years.

Good luck with ya truck.

Welcome to the best forum for Mavericks, Terranos in disguise.
Nice to see some one else bragging that they have a 20 year old Maverick, you should fit in well lol.:thumb2
I occasionally mention that I have owned mine from new for over 20 years, lol.
by the way, ours are 2.7 Td's not Tdi's, ( I could be wrong, does yours have the scoop on the bonnet, ie intercooler ) ours don't suffer from MAF or crank case position sensors issues either, ok we have less HP , and lower road tax, and less head scratching.

Here is a list of reasons why you might have power loss on a 2.7 Td.
Faulty or poorly seated fuel filter.
Air in the fuel lines, fuel is "sucked" by the fuel pump on the engine, so any corroded or leaky fuel lines will draw in air.
Minifilter in the fuel pump can get clogged, yours will most certainly have one, unless a previous owner has chucked it.

In the down load section there is a write up on how to do it.
I'm sure when you join, you will see the benefit of being a member, we all like cheap fixes, in my opinion, we know more as a club than all the Nissan dealers put together.
When you join, you will start fixing problems you never knew you had lol...

Welcome aboard,

Change the fuel filter and see how you go from there, a new filter is never a bad thing, pre fill with fuel and then prime by hand with the plunger on top until firm.

If the problem is still present after that, I'd be checking fuel lines for corrosion from IP to the tank.

If they are OK then I'd be getting the socket set out and removing the banjo bolt on top of the IP by going behind the power steering pump.

There's a step by step guide to this in the workshop downloads section
