300 tdi struggles to start

Hi @Marrio6459

Do you have the rave workshop manual? including the electrical diagrams.

Also, this might help, a link to an article about the fuel pump. Plus an attachment for tuning the pump , not saying you should do it, but it all helps you understand how it works. There is a lot of info out there.

@Marrio6459 - might I suggest that your first job is to clean the engine and engine bay.

Used engine oil, or which you have plenty, is NOT good for you.

The oil is from a split pipe with I replaced when I did my filters and oil will clean it over the weekend

And stop chewin your nails

Habit that is

Glad you're sorted - But..... I'm curious as to what had happened to this pipe - presumably it had been blanked off ???

Nope had just come of by the looks of it

Time to get the HAMMER out now then
