UPDATE Had the pump out the tank this morning. It was a little dirty but not bad for a 10 year old car. Cleaned it all and checked it is working. Put it all back together and decided to check the timing.......well that was until i found that my locking wheel nut socket is missing......do not think body shop had put it back in the car last month :o

Hope it has fixed it for you. TPS here wanted

I have just done my this afternoon. I used a pair of long nose pliers to pull the plugs off the injectors . Then if you look on the bar with the wires running through there are clips for the plugs to sit in , the new one will already be clipped in if you look. Then draw the whole thing out but you will need to press the steel clips in with a screw driver as they go through the hols in the head.

Bit of an update... I have just changed the loom and it has not helped. When you first start up it will idle nice and smooth but after a short while it starts with the rough almost miss firing sound. This did just start all of a sudden, came out one morning for work and it just didn't seem to want to start. I had to wind it over for quite a while and then it picked up and ran fine, that was until it sat for most of the day to come home. Same again next morning etc. Then all of a sudden it was back to starting first flick of the key but with the rough idle. Now thinking back the only things i have done is swooped from Morrison's fuel to Total and at the same time put some forte (sp) injector cleaner in. I look as best i could at the cam shaft and it looked and felt ok, and i also put a dmm on the injectors and they all read about the same 0.5/6 ohm iirc. Is there anything in vag com that will show if the fuel pressure is ok? Thank you John

Thank you for the info on the loom, is there anyway of testing it at all?

That does indeed sound about the right place. I will get it checked after the running problem is sorted. Thanks again Alan for your help.

Hi Alan Thank for taking the time to reply again. I have got it working now....it was indeed a driver issue. I can now see in the mease blocks. Unfortunately i do not really understand them enough to see where the idle problem is coming from. There is no fault codes stored ether. I also can not seem to upload the log file, even when zipped up. Thank You John

Hi Alan Car is a 2002 1.9tdi gear with 6 speed manual box. I have no idea what a lbl file is. Thank you.

Hi Alan Thank you for your reply. I do not seem to be able to attach vag com logs but here is a screen grab. The car is really frustrating me now. VAGCOM SCREEN GRAB.bmp

Ok My car has been doing some strange things of late poor starting.....having to turn over for ages then will pick up and go.....this sort of seems to have gone away. Now i have Rough idle seems down on power Air con also stopped blowing cold but pump is spinning and there is a whooshing noise from passenger foot well. car still returns decent mpg though. Anyway got my vag com working today and have just done a scan. No fault codes. So i look in the meas block park and there is lots of n/a where i am sure there used to be figures. I have attached a log file and hope some one can point me in the right direction. Really concerned now as i have moved work place and have to travel 30 miles a day. The strange thing is in the meas blocks part of vagcom is the missing info. Most things say N/A. The block that shows the injectors is only showing injector number 1 the other 3 say N/A. I really do not have a clue what is going on with it. I have looked around here but not found any similar faults.

I would not touch that 15 inch version, i got one a few months ago and it was terrible, dark picture and real bad build quality......the dam thing also went up in smoke. I sent it back after a few emails and got the smaller one they do and that is spot on and only

I don't like the sound of stranded springs LOL car looks like it is on stilts :lol: I just wondered if any one else had the same issue as me..........guess there is all ways the old grinder on the arch tick :lol:

Hi people, well i fitted the gmax springs a few weeks ago and they seemed to have settled in now......but i seem to get the back out bottoming out and the arch's and tires are hitting, not all the time but when i have people sat in the back, the rear shocks are the original ford ones, i believe they are gas but i am not 100%. Any one else have the same issue? what have you done to cure it? I guess new rear shocks could help but again which ones to get? I am off to the south of France this week and i am a little concerned. Wheels are 18inch with 235/40/18. Just a couple of pic's of how the gal sits....see what you think http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jp.radioroom/pictures/102_0125%20(Large).JPG http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jp.radioroom/pictures/102_0126%20(Large).JPG http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jp.radioroom/pictures/102_0127%20(Large).JPG

Sorted it now thanks, it didn't like win 7 64 bit for a start :blink: put it on my xp box and its fine. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Do you have any install instructions for this at all please ? Would like to have a look at it. Thank you.
