go on then, send me an injector and we'l find out the truth! (In all fairness I have not a clue) but surely single stage injectors are knocking on a bit now?

talking dash is the next bit of wirting to sort now the alarm is mostly sorted.

If the level is ok - check it's condition. If it's really cloudy or rusty it could do with a change and flush. My heater was not as hot as it could be either, I flushed the matrix out the other day and it was full of orange sludge. The whole system will be drained and flushed now - well, as soon as it stops chucking it down. That crud will be EVERYWHERE...

I believe the servo pump usually comes with the replacement alternator. I would have thought it would also be easier to swap over without having to remove the servo pump form the alternator.

my car dont have the 4700 limiter, in fact i had a 'special' map on mine where there was fuel in it if the car was capable of getting up to the region of 8k rpm. in actual usuage i think the limiter was about 5400 or well into the solid red on the dial. in real world usage the only reason you would need to go above 4K rpm is if you are doing a top speed run or something, at around 4500 i think that equates to around 120-130mph on the...

Yes one unit...when you change it be careful of the little plastic pipe that runs from the pump servo.

Is this the one in the pic you bought off me? wasnt that bad when you bought it was it earlier this year,maybe the odd judder upto junctions as i remember due ti sdi's ? Funny though i had exactly the same problem with the blue 5 door zr you asked me about a few weeks ago... i had the injectors out twice to clean and sold it with the stock injectors in, but still ran terrible for around 2 mins from cold..then fine all day? How is the mean...

I hate that stupid torque limiter! I would like rid of it in second i think. The torque difference seems very noticable going from 2nd to 3rd..

Have you studied brake specific fuel consumption graphs at all, such as this one: This is the reason why I think it could be quite tricky to achieve good power at high rpm, in that the underlying combusion characteristics of a TDI favour the most efficient burn of fuel at around 2000rpm, when the turbo has barely got going, i.e. a bigger turbo won't give massive gains higher up the rev range, as the engine simply won't be effiicient...

Depends what make they are and if they are new or remaufactured items. I got a new 3 part clutch from my local motor factors for £70, so bargains are out there.
