Can confirm that bypassing the lift pump with something similar has done the trick. Many thanks!

I use my rear tow hitch on the 90, now doing the same on the d3 since the sensors packed up.

Fuel pin seized in the injection pump. had it happen on a 200 (same pump) and was as flat as a wet fart! Item B, 5 mins work to get at, only 4 screws to remove.

You need 50 posts… and your nearly there Post a few more times in this thread & you will be permitted

TD5 might be different but I think the TDI had a purple wire to the rear light clusters that was permanent live worth a look

Go with nanocom In BCU - Settings - Alarm/others - 4'th page and make sure that Cruise control appears as "Enabled"

if I remember correctly the brake pedalswitch has two circuits one for the brake light and second circuit to switch off the cruise.

Crap old pics, but you can see what I did, pics dated 2015 and all still okay. Just wired to a toggle switch under the dashboard. Car runs fine even with the pump switched off, but will lack power on hills until you switch the pump back on. Also...

I may have replied earlier, but bypassing the mechanical lift pump and fitting a Facet copy one off of ebay works well.

Dont think the threads have anything to do with the union seal, that is on the end of the pipe.

Blocked dpf is the end result of something else failing. All the inactive codes will have a part to play in this. Ps D4 belongs in the discovery section.
