johnb80 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Check for water in the fuel (drain the filter), also check for air leaks into the fuel line. Regards - JB Quote
Guest legacy4cam Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Martin, had this on our 2003 130 tdi, turned out to be a faulty crankshaft position sensor, also needed the computer reset after fitting to clear fault codes . Hope this helps. Quote
