Peugeot - 306 Turbo Diesel 1.9 - 1998
I recently stopped at a fuel station filled up (with Diesel) and a couple of miles down the road found the car seemed to lose "guts", it had a lack of power and couldn't accelerate over 50mph. I tried dropping down gears to build up revs but lower you went the car started to shudder, it could cruise along at 50 but was not right. I stopped and re started, all sounded and smelt ok... just no 'bollocks' to it (technical term!) feels like a block or something holding the engine back.
2 RAC guys & 2 mechanics later and no ideas what's wrong, I'm told to go to Peugeot or a diesel specialist ££££
any one any ideas? could it be the turbo?
Searching around the net I see EGR valves and fuel filter problems possibly produce similar issues
