I've had fun and games when changing my fuel filter on the same engine - kept stalling sometimes after 5 seconds and sometimes after a couple of minutes - thought there was a problem with solenoids etc but took it for a blast on the motorway for 20 miles and the problem sorted itself out - I'm assum...

irrelevant in this case as the engine threw a rod due to the valve breaking and hitting the top of the piston at 2500rpm - I'm just trying to explain what would/could happen if a valve had broken on the hdi engine.

I had a major engine problem a few years ago ( rod through block ) when a garage changed my belt on an older c15 engine - when I collected the car after having the belt done I thought it was a bit tappety but power seemed OK'ish - I did query this with the mechanic but he said it sounded OK to him -...

I suppose they have to disappear at some stage - here is another one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LATEST-UNIVERSAL-CAR-FAULT-DIAGNOSTIC-CODE-READER-OBD2_W0QQitemZ360191332196QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment?hash=item53dd138f64 - I would suggest you mail them your car details first to be on ...

cheers

I bought one of these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 3465396025 - works fine and clears limp mode but you should solve the problem rather than keep taking the headache tablets!

have been running filtered cooking oil 50/50 with diesel in my old Passat tdi ( 260000miles) without issues apart from being slightly more difficult to start when its cooler in the morning - I expected this and expect it to get worse when the winter arrives - no other problems but one advatange is i...

just for everyones information I bought one and yes it works fine - best 25 quid I've spent in a long time - also works on my SAAB and few of my mates cars

Hi - new to the forum but not vehicles - I've recently bought a 2001 406 hdi (90bhp) estate and it came with the fault 'anti pollution' - I've read some of the posts relating to this but seems like I need to take it into a local dealer to find out the cause - my local Peugeot guy wants £30 to plug i...
