dCi - the "turbo whistle" is really loud with bad performance

[BatFastard]

Well the topic title is the best I can explain it, getting bad perfomance acceleration wise with top end still being good. Any ideas on whats up?

Check the EGR valve on the intake and exhaust I bet it blocked.

How much could it cost me to get it sorted? Also for some reason it feels like my engine is on a cold start all the time, I have a feeling its going to pop >_<

EGR clean can be done yourself just to to have some spanners etc.

IF you've got any warning light see dealership who can fault code then tell you whats wrong.

Cleaning the EGR valve on mine DCI did not helped. I had it changed. The EGR valve itself costs about £300 (thats what I payed).

Some are blocked to extreme!

New EGR is about 100 quid ish off the top of my head and it will make a big difference if it is blocked.

Batfastard is yours a 65bhp? I'd start checking your pipes aswell as the pipe that leaves your air filter down to the turbo, if these split it'll give you a loud whistle, check all your jubilee clips are on tight holding all the pipes on.

Just to mention that there is a DIY EGR cleaning guide on www.dcioffice.net, if you guys need it.

EGR on diesels are only closed at WOT (wide open throttle), so you might have a blocked EGR

But check your pipes, too.
Cheers!
