alfa romeo 156 2.4 jtd performance loss
I have an alfa 2.4 jtd..the performance has dramatically fallen
off,car has only 40.000 miles,will not deliver full performance, hard to get it to rev in top gear,running on a light or trailing throttle it’s a bit better, but put the car under full throttle or load and it’s just as iff it hits a " Cotton Woll" wall! Took it on a 6000 mile trip to Spain and it was superb, but now I have no confidence in passing, have been stuck too many times " out there" in the overtaking lane with nothing!..any ideas?

Probably the airmassmeter which has broken down. A common problem with all
current diesels. Had the same thing with my Alfa 166 2.4 JTD. It didn't reach 180 km/h in sixth gear on a flat road and hardly getting it above 3.000 rpm in any gear. I couldn't even follow a Toyota Starlet 1.5 Diesel :-))) Regards.

Sorry if this sounds obvious, but check the pipe from the turbo to the
inlet is securely fastened. Mine came loose and a hole smaller than a grain of rice made a huge difference (no engine smoothness accelerating from 2000 to 3000 revs under light throttle and nothing above 3500 rpm).
