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."

It took me 5 minutes to work out what you were asking ... :(


Edit ... must type faster .. :(

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?
