So is it the fuel filter or fuel pump that was leaking?
I had the high pressure pump gasket go and that was leaking diesel and making the car smell awful.
The gasket cost under a tenner and its about an hours labour.
Anyone had the gasket go on the high pressure fuel pump? Mine has gone and it is making a hell of a stink and mpg not great. Should be getting it repaired today.
Also when sat at idle the rpm creeps up to around 1000rpm, not sure wether this could be related?
Yer I noticed the idle, and now you mention it, my mpg was running high 40's mid 50's most of the time. Has it made your engine management light come on? I have taken mine off again the engine management light has gone off. Might put it on again and leave it for a bit longer.
Hello there!
I recently removed and cleaned up my EGR as it was completely covered and also noticed the inlet manifold was pretty thick too. I decided to try a blanking plate for the EGR to see if it made it run any better.
I bought it off of eBay for £2.99, took 2 minutes to fit...but i...
I love that sound, I want to do it to mine now haha, couple questions, where can you buy the pipe? How much? anddd can you weld the tips off of the old box on?
I also have the 2.0 TDI 140 (BKD) have you got anymore plans for it?
Just received my de badged grill, out of interest anyone got an idea of how to get the standard one off? I have taken the torques head screws out of the top, and I'm pretty sure it just clipped in but cant get it off! Not to keen on snapping it off haha
Ok thanks for the advice, I was wondering whether the chips would still show up. Won't be done just yet if I decide to but will post pictures if I get it done. Thanks
Just wondering what people think on bonnet wraps, my car is in the dark grey, I'm going for the black de badged grills, and the bonnet has a fair few stone chips so was thinking about a matt black wrap for it.
What do you think?
Hello, um pretty simple, just a few allen key bolts, which you can see as its right at the front of the engine bay. the only tricky one is at the back of it, but I don't think I was using the correct tool really, also need to unbolt the pipe that goes into the side of the EGR.
Good luck
Jack
Hello,
Well car has been running a little bit lumpy on idle and have been reading about the EGR valve getting blocked up.
So today I removed the EGR and anti shudder valve which sits below it.
The anti shudder valve was relatively clean but the EGR was completely coated in black carbon build...
Does sound very similar!
My next step is to clean the TB too, I have a friend who had to change his because it had a build up of dirt.
I also have the glow plug light coming on and flashing, but it is at very random times, theres no obvious reason for it, ive had it plugged in but no fault...
