Hi
Sorry to make my first post a quest for advice. My 1.9 T4 hasn't been stared since just after Christmas until today. It started perfectly and ticked over as it should. Pulling off seemed a touch sluggish but it was downhill on a slow lane so I didn't notice for a mile that it had little go. Flooring the pedal just gave black smoke and maybe a bit of a rattle like you get when giving hard throttle 2 or 3 gear to high.
Later experimentation, after letting it warm up nicely, produces much the same. Its missing when you give it much more than half throttle.
All was fine when it was last used. To me it all points to that nasty cold weather causing problems but as I know nowt about diesels it might not be. if it was a single cylinder 2 stoke engine I'd say a blocked main jet or stale petrol.
Any ideas?
many thanks
