It could be that its just the cold temperatures. Mine at the moment driving round town does not move from the botom, faster drive on the motorway then it moves up to just above the first line. How long have you had the car? Mine is a 200tdi with a higher rated thermostat.

And that!

Do you put the bolt into the bell housing breather hole before wading, if not I recon thats where its going in, if it is I would hate to see what your clutch looks like!

I agree with Mad, you can open up enough with the box inplace working on the inside of the car. Could be the bias plate is not quite in position and this makes it harder to select.

You know I'm not sure what I did. It might have been those dam diesel spark plugs causing all the trouble.

Thanks Ian, but just to make it clear, I changed the Fuel filter and that sorted it.

Yep lift pump ok! fuel everywhere now!

Ian, how can I prove the lift pump?

There is a deffinat difference when the hose is connected you can hear the turbo spinning up.

The hoses look and feel ok, took the inlet hose of at the intercooler end and tried it, it was still struggling to rev up. I am still thinking it is a fueling thing?
