    Diesel running back ?

    2002 td5 heater blowing cold air only

    All back together & everything is working as it should, well pleased only took about an hour and half to put back together, flushed & fresh anti freeze put in, worst part of doing the job was removing the main oil filter to access the rotary oil filter housing bolts.
