Hi Guys,
Yesterday we went for a run in the 2006 C5 Hdi. It ran well but appeared to lack power, then developed a flat spot on acceleration. Got home okay and this arvo I tried to start it. It fired up running on three cylinders and then made a horrid knocking sound in the one not working. Turned it off and tried again, complete fail. Kicks over, runs on two cyl and stops.
Is this possibly a diesel fuel pressure problem. ?
I checked the air cleaner, no problems with the air, so I guess it is fuel.
Any ideas?
Given that you can also feel a type of flapping coming from the drive line on take off, this thing is looking good for the scrap heap
I replaced the left side drive shaft with a brand new one ($600 odd) and now think the right hand side has gone.
Cheers,
Ron
BTW No problems with the 5CV, runs like a clock. Far to simple not to.
