Rasping-like sound when accelerating, power-loss, car is juddering when accelerating
Hello all,
(Sorry for not introducing myself more formerly) 1.) I know nothing - to very little about cars in general and how they work. 2.) This car was fully-serviced approximately 3 months back 3.) The car was bought second-hand in winter of 2015 4.) When I first bought this car, there existed a Turbo-related problem that was never repaired or addressed by me. Basically, above 3,500 Revs the engine would go into 'LIMP' mode. I have enjoyed over 20,000 miles of driving across Europe with this Turbo-problem. I just ensured that when changing gear I did so when driving under 3,500 Revs I have a 2004 X-type 2.0D 4-door saloon - Sovereign spec. Symptoms: 1.) Recently, the engine is making a horrible 'rasping-like' sound when I accelerate. 2.) Also, when I accelerate the car judders forward. 3.) there seems to be a 'loss' of power somewhere as I do not get the 'turbo-kick' that I am used to when I accelerate. 4.) alot of black-smoke billows out from the exhaust What I have done (so far): 1.) Today, I poured into the fuel-tank:- Injector-cleaner fluid & turbo-cleaner fluid 2.) topped-up the fuel-tank with diesel fuel 3.) I left the car in Neutral then Revved the engine to about 4,000 Revs. When I do this I do not hear that worrying 'rasping-like' sound Any advice on what the problem is or might be. Mechanically, I am a real simpleton - so I would appreciate any and all 'non-techie' help from you. |
First of all driving a car for 2 years that goes into "limp mode" is sorry to say just plain idiotic. Then wonder why there are problems. Really?
Try looking under search function for "Mr. Muscle" fix. Worth a shot for giggles. |
