    No power and really rough idle

    Help with pile off poo 200 tdi

    I would suspect someone has used some form of leak sealant stuff in the system and that is what the white stuff is esp if you suspect the rad has a leak.

    Steering Wheel Violent Wobble at speed

    No simple terms are good. Seen much about this problem on here my question is can you tell if you need to adjust the preload by jacking the wheel clear of the ground and wobbling it like you do for wheel bearings
