Help Diesel has NO power going up hill!
Hi,
I bought a beautiful 83 300D in Sept. It seems great....147,000 miles...it seems slow going up hills (I live in San Franciscco), and tonight driving up the hill with another person...IT would not go...I panicked and drove on a flat section...then took it up a slope, I had to to get home...It Barely made it to the top, even when I shifted down...PLEASE tell me it doesn't have to be serious......I'm planning to drive to LA and with my car loaded up, I'm concerned about the long haul of going over the grapevine...a gradual slope for miles...I will take it in to my mechanic..but thought I'd get your opinion first..I am broke...so HopefullY!!! it isn't too major...
thanks much
