- Owner forums in Germany, Australia and South Africa repeatedly report injectors out of tolerance (all four, on a 250,000 km car), leaks at new injectors and failing high-pressure pumps, often with poor-quality diesel. Check the air-flow meter before replacing parts: one owner replaced the turbo, pump and injectors without curing the power loss. Overheating from the thermostat, water pump or radiator is also mentioned.
- Check for the garage
- Run an injector back-leak test with a diagnostic tool; check the air-flow meter and the fuel filter; watch the temperature and coolant level.
- Cost cited in the source
