    200tdi 110 back on the road!

    How do doors get dented like that on the drivers side above the handle? Mine has it and I cant work it out

    Still got issues

    Wouldn't surprise me if the splines are dry and stiff, putting push/ pull pressure abnormally, thus potentially creating abnormal noise at idle.

    Which diesel fuel is best for my old 300TDi?
