bomas Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Hi, I have bought a 1993 xantia 1.9d lx on ebay for not very much. It is in very good condition but it has no power or acceleration or torque.It starts up every time without a problem and idles correctly and does not smoke. I have big lorries overtaking when going up hills.Where do I start looking for the problem. Is it injectors, timing, pump or elsewhere? Your help would be much appreciated. Quote
Johndouglas Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Try a new air filter and a good big dose of Miller's diesel-clean in the fuel tank. Quote
C4VTS Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 If it's not a turbo diesel, then it sounds about normal. :lol: Years ago when I went from a non-turbo ZX to a turbo version, the difference was huge. The turbo version is much quieter and smoother, and of course very quick. Quote
kfk Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 You dont say if its manual or automatic.......i had the privelige of driving an auto 19d xantia........i moved onto milk floats for a buzz.......dont expect much from it. A suggestion though.............remove any mats from the foot well and makes sure that when the throttle pedal is pressed to the carpet that the lever on the pump as got to the end of its travel.
