Freelander 02 TD4 Losing Power

[purplegerbil]

Hi,
I have Freelander 2.0l TD4 2002. With general driving, setting off at light, round-abouts etc it is great. When going up hill the problem starts. When the revs hit 3000 it loses power. The revs stay high but the car slows down. The engine doesnt cut out just no power. Somebody told me it could the fuel filter. Changed it then went for a run. Same problem as before.

Any help with this would be great.

Cheers.

It may be the air mass flow sensor - seems to be a common. We had something like this - wouldn't accelerate up hills and had to change down a gear to get to the top. It cost us about £150 for the sensor plus labour etc. Our '01 Td4 went like a rocket when we picked it up from the specialist where we took it too!
