Did you do the oil change yourself?

Think there is a floating bracket that goes into that slot that the two bolts screw into. Think pt no is 332121, cannot find any so may have to make your own.

I have not owned a d1 (1997 model ES auto) for many years now, but I did try a tuning box and it was pretty good, then got a proper remap/intercooler done and it literally flew, it was certainly quicker than the d2 I replaced it with. One tip I was told was to advance the inj pump timing a...

Wrong forum Jeff, try and find a dedicated evoque forum for advice.

I would say egt of 400 is very low, probably lower than a std car? The edc tdi engines do tune up lovely with a remap.

Have a watch of this, quite interesting.

As soon as I read header tank empty, I thought damaged bores. Truth is older d3 like mine are pretty much worthless, even the newest d3 will be 16 years old. Have you got yours welded yet?

Then to be honest I would not waste any money on diagnostic/repairs, I think it might be time for the car to meet the great scrapyard in the sky, sad as when running right they are great cars.

Any diesel change glow plugs first as cheapest option. I have 13 quid specials in my 200, been in there a few years now with no issues.

Straight edge across front face of timing chest and measure from straight edge to the face of the gears? Using same straight edge see if the timing chest itself is bent.

Try and find the instructions for the 300 belt mods, as Iirc there was some things you had to do when fitting the inj pump.

Was there a gasket between inj pump and timing case? Something must be out of line for the belt to run out.

No idea until its off, but before removing I would be checking with a straight edge that all the pulleys are paralell to each other.

As said above P gasket
