Hi all,
I have a 2012 PB Challenger 2.5lt TD 5 speed Manual.
My porblem is I get a massive power loss and black smoke under extreme load while towing up hills like the blue mountains.
The problem is so bad it loses nearly all power. I pull over for 5 minute and the problem goes away. Don't even have to stop the car. It's like the turbo or engine cools down and the power returns. This will then be ok for another 5 or.so minutes and the problem suddenly returns. All other times the car performs flawlessly.
I have had the car services regular. Have had NRMA out serveral times to check it however by the time they show up the problem has gone away as the car has cooled down again. I get not engine codes with this problem and it only seems to happen when towing up steep grades.
Anyone else had a similar issue and can advise what the fix is.
Thanks heaps guys
