Ldv maxus 2.5 diesel VM engine 95bhp 3.2ton
My 56 plate ldv Will start and idle on it's own power, but will not rev past 1500rpm, and then after that begins to knock a little, throwing out a lot of black smoke out the back. Will drive slowly only using the clutch and low rev but won't rev up. The edc light is always on. I have only so far taken off the egr valve, which was stinking and a bit seized, but cleaned up and moving and been put back on but same problem. Anybody have any help or idea? I'm going back to the yard tomorrow to tackle it a different way, like maybe swap the throttle body from another maxus van I have(the same) to see if it that etc, I can only guess at the moment until somebody gives some professional advice/help. Many thanks! Josh

Sounds like an injector problem, I would suggest that you see if you can get a live data read on the engine management system, if this can be done on your model this will give a good insight as to what is going on, let me know if you can get this done.
