Lack of power on a 1.6td

Post by reddwarf »

Just taken my van into my nearest Bosch service centre for a check up as I thought I was down on power especially when climbing hills.

Great guys, thoroughly recommend them.

Good news is the pump timing is spot on.

Bad news is the diaphram has gone on my pump

So that's where the performance went.

£225 plus fitting plus VAT and they can't get one for 6 weeks!

Simon hasn't got any, does anyone know of any other source for the diaphram?

Thanks
