Hi Animaldaz, I had the same problem with my 2004 TD4 a few years ago. After many hours with circuit diagram and test meter I discovered that the glow plugs were not staying on. The engine uses the water temperature sensor to determine cold start fuel injection time. In my case I cut one...

Ok thanks for that, I was starting think that there may be an issue with the variable turbo vanes, or mass airflow sensor.

Hi, Are other owners able to drive their cars at 30 mph in 5th gear, and accelerate on the flat? I find that 5th gear is too high and can only get to 4th at 30 mph without the engine /transmission humming excessively. Once I am above 30mph there are no issues. Any ideas, or is this the...

Hi All, 2004 TD4. Does anyone know if the engine ecu can have the golw-plug temperature on time changed, via the obd2 interface? :) I have been doing some experiments on the hardware and with a 1k ohm resistor in series with the engine temperature sensor the glow plug light comes on and the...
