i have a 2001 2.7tdi, it is going to garage this week with problem with throttle potentiometer,which is causing loss of power when accellerator is pressed,mechanic says he will take unit apart and clean,but if that does not do the trick a new potentiometer will cost a �1000+vat,has anybody else had same probs? any help is much appreciated

Kind Regards Chris

Hi Chris.

I've never heard of this on a Terrano. Most common problems are:

Fuel Filter blocked
Number 1 injector faulty
Air Flow Meter faulty

The throttle sensor will be part of the diesel pump and i doubt if there will be much that can be done with it. Is this the fault that shows up on the computer?
