I don't have enough knowledge to know if its same one as on my 2005 facelift td4 so check it, but when mine died last week my local indie got one in under an hour from guy salmon in Wakefield, according to them they see that many fail they always keep half a dozen in stock. I know they post...

OP, was thinking of your post whilst sat waiting for a recovery truck this afternoon. Bought my TD4 in feb, I have never known a vehicle need so much to keep it going! So far it's had new IRD & VCU recon inc fitting £1020. 4 x new tyres (reason the IRD exploded!) £400. 4 x 4 track £50. Rear...

Cheers Teddywood, just before I click buy it now, what's the rules on these things? Looking at MAF replacement it's quite clear - buy Bosch or throw your money away. Are there any such thoughts with cam sensors please? Done a fair bit of reading and there does seem to be some cheap and cheerful...

Afternoon Gents My FL1 TD4 2005 facelift is play up when starting. When I go out to her first thing or after work (if she's been stood all day) then she starts fine as she always has, however, leave her for a few hours, like get to work for 8, pop out for lunch at 12 kinda hours and she is a...

Insurance policy has a keys cover bit added so I pay an extra £15 a year and they will cover up to £1500 for new locks, keys, fobs and programming in the event of loss or theft? Also covers the house keys too. Figure £15 a year is worth it? As for the over 60's bit, I have to agree, my dad's 64...

Something to bear in mind - the additional functionality & cost savings over and above performance that the Synergy2 provides. Have a look on here about the Bosch MAF failure rates (and symptoms - my 05 plate TD4 looks text book :Cry: ) and Bosch vs Peirburg + Synergy2. Am waiting for a 5...

Teddywood, oil level is spot on. Havent looked at the oil level switch yet - just been out so need to leave it to cool for a bit! From reading the other posts the other night, a few times fuel pumps popped up or system not deliverying enough fuel when its under load ect so it is on my list but I...

:mad: Tried that earlier. pulled pipe 1 off as described, popped onto motorway, hit 70 and MIL came on...Back to the drawing board! Appreciated though Hippo. Am open to suggestions at this point till I get my hands on a code reader.

Disconnected MAF and massive improvement in lower range <3000 rpm. down side - MIL still comes on at 50mph+. Pulled pipe from Turbo Boost Solenoid and again MIL still comes on. If it ever stops raining am looking at cleaning EGR and then fitting new fuel filter hopefully tomorrow see what that does.

Morning Folks Was wondering if anyone knows of a garage or mechanic in the Leeds/Wakefield/Pontefract area that has a code reader that wont charge the earth? (IRD & VCU replacement, new set of tyres and tailgate window motor all in last 8 weeks has cleaned me out :eek:) Had the money pit, a 2005...

Well now onto my second leak from the new IRD! Within hours I noticed oil coming out of the back where it goes into the propshaft. One speedy seal replacement later and leak cured. Am now loosing a small amount at the front right hand side At the bottom though, not where the IRD connects to the...

Am coming to conclusion this thing has a mind of its own! Checked everything over again and this time it tried to raise using key in lock outside and fob to lower. Did this a few times, stuttered a bit but it's now opening and closing using key & fob AND console button too. god knows what was...
