I have a 1987 300D turbo and recently I was driving around town and I was on the highway cruising around 65mph and I started up a sligt incline and the car dramatically slowed down to 50 mph and seemed to strugle up the hill even though I had the accel pedal all the way down. Is this something I should be concerned about? Now I know diesels don't do well going up hills but it normally doesn't do that bad especially on that road.

 

Bad Turbo?

 

How much does it normally cost to have the turbo replaced?

 

I dunno for me just the cost of the turbo.

Someone else will have to help u on that one and post ur model someone might know of a certain problem that might not be turbo related.

 

could be a host of differant things wrong.......

- fuel filter
- fuel pressures
- inj pump
- fuel injectors
- turbo

i d say try the fuel filter.......easiest and cheapest to start with.
