Final thought for the night, Never in my wildest dreams have I imagined that I would be going to sleep hoping I have broken one or more injectors. Funny old world

Hello, thanks for that I thought it was strange that they only fire once, as you turn the key for the first time, I though there must be a lock out or you would expect the cranking to eventually fire them again. It may be the pressure switch,, but it is odd that it should fail so suddenly and...

I didn't do the leak off test on Sat as I hoped I will try again between hurricanes on Monday. I have a feeling this may be the answer. It was long ago and there has been so much despair since then, but I am sure that when it first would not start. The first think I did was check to see that...

Thanks but for my next job I am planning something easy. New seals in Audi a6 2.8 Quattro Auto box....

Hello, thank you for this, yes everything was definitely re-connected. My mate has had this since it was 6m old so, I know its history and no there has been no patch plug,, though if it stops raining I shall double check for corrosion. I see what you mean about the O rings and I have a set...

Hello, thank you, yes I had re-connected everything expecting to start and drive it. I don't know why now, I just double checked I thought that was what it said in the Haynes. But essentially I didn't think that I could get at the exhaust to be able to get at the ird bolts. The turbo air...

Hello I have changed the clutch/flywheel on a TD4 2004 for a friend. It was running OK when I started. I took the injectors out to get the cam cover off and eventually got everything back together. I reconnected the battery but the car would not start. Took injectors back out to see if they were...

Thank you very much I have never used a forum before and its all very confusing. Cheers.

Hello, thank you for that tip, very new to this kind of thing and I was just glad I managed to find a button to post....

Also if you are nearby, I now have the special tool that easily removes the pump. if any one wants to borrow it. Plus if anyone is thinking about changing the Clutch on a post 02 TD4 I would be happy to share my tale..
