2003 1.9 tdi automatic 125,000 miles Hi ,i took my car to a diesel specialist because of my over revving on start up and intermittent power loss on acceleration sometimes,I knew as it was intermittent he may not find find problem if it wasnt showing when he had it........ And of course the mechanic had it for 2 days and the issue didnt show ffs! he did point out what i knew and thought was connected to my other problems that the engine was loud and tappetty.He said it was a major job to do and because of other problems probably not worth an engine strip. As that was a garages opinion i was wondering if Tappet problem was that hard and should i consult other gargages to get this problem sorted? Anyone had this sort of work carried out? cheers Pete
