My car has done 340,000 miles (yes 340,000miles!!) on same engine. Perhaps I am expecting too much but am very fond of 'old faithfull'! Below 2000rpm the torque is not as good as it use to be and up hills it needs more gear work now. I've changed mass air meter and fuel shut off valve in last 18 months. I've just had a compression test, and whilst one cylinder fell below pressure specification, the garage didn't feel this would be reason for above. Turbocharger seems fine and still good top speed on flat + good mpg.
Anyone else had similar problems or any other thought?
Could it be injector pump or injector problems or pipe leak to/from turbocharger?
Thanks to 'you out there'.
