It passed the MOT - so that's a relief.

It drives like a Rover 220sdi I had where the turbo/intercooler pipes had split, happy at low revs and will pull cleanly to 4k revs and hold but just no turbo kick/power.

I wonder if I've leant against/banged a pipe in there somewhere? I can't hear the air escaping as I did with the rover.

The car has the EGR blanked and I did notice that the vacuum pipe (the long thin one) is broken and has a bit of black oily liquid is in there. Is this a problem as it's blanked off anyways? There were some worries back in the day of the banked egr killing the turbo with the greater temperatures. But I would have thought if the turbo had died the engine wouldn't do jack.

Any other thoughts? I can't put the original filter back in as the missus throw it out on bin day

Was going to keep this car and get rid of the mondy tdci 130 that's riddled with minor bits that need doing as the wife is getting anew car, looks like I'll be selling this and keeping the mondy...
