I have an ongoing issue with my 1.9d van.
Going up hill (it is a long steep hill) it starts to loose power. begins to overheat and blows smoke out the back, not sure of the colour really.
On normal flat ground the temperature is okay when moving but rises when stationary. No smoking.
Yesterday I've had the cambelt and water pump done as the cambelt certainly needed changing, and the water pump appeared to be not working correctly.
Tried the hill before work last night and still the same, overheating and smoke.
It runs fine the rest of the time.
Any thoughts guys, I desperately need to be able to go up this hill, as I have to do a massive detour to avoid it to get anywhere!
