Brilliant guys Sounds exactly like it - it really is just for a few seconds and only after hammering the Autobahn in the heat Cheers Matt p.s. I've got SO much to learn - I love this forum - cheers Martin Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

I think the problem may have been the engine blanket combined with 32 degrees... it was red hot under there when I took it off Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

M Td5 does the same roar after being on the motorway, say at a roundabout just off it etc...
Also I have had it a few times just as I pull away first thing in the morning. Not happened very often, but only for a few secs. Current:D4 HSE Gone: BMW Z4MC Gone: Defender TD5 90 CSW Previous: Discovery TD5 ES (Gone) |

I had the same problem with my TD5 in 30+ Degs, particularly loss of power going up hills.
It would struggle for a while and be OK, especially if I turned the Aircon off. Never got to the bottom it, because the weather got cooler Froggy Flying the flag in a country full of Toyota's! |

Here in RSA we have a constant "struggle" with this exact problem.
Esp in summer when temps are constantly 30-35degC. We have done a LOT of tests and all it came down to was the increased manifold intake temp measured by the MAP. Only fix is silicone turbo hoses and larger intercooler. Engine temp have no influence......... |

It may also be worth to keep this in mind, as experienced by another Puma owner:

Took out my MAP this morning and it's covered in sh*tty black oil
Should I clean with diesel, petrol, nitrose thinners, or anything else I don't have to buy? Matt Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Carburator cleaner or 99% medical alcohol.
The carb cleaner works better |

I am beginning to think the intercooler is the key... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
