Can't help with the car problem ... :( as I know nothing about diesels but  ......

May I kindly point you to the forum rules which state

"Use English, no text speak which is notoriously difficult to read."

Possibly you've just got used to the oomph and the fuel economy has dropped because you're nailing it more.
If no codes showing after P/Clip test, then it's time to chip it :y

Hmm if it suddenly takes off around 2k rpm thats fairly normal, however later than that you have a problem!!
always best to start with the basics such as full servce with air and fuel filters oil etc, does itstart well or take a lot of turning on the starter?
