Thanks for the replies, I should add that this anomaly has been ongoing for the past 3 years during my Father's ownership of the car, now my wife and I have taken it on I'd quite like to sort it if I can.

Our 2008 140cr tdi has a weird problem that's not making it undrivable but it is quite annoying. When the engine is cold the gearbox pulls away smoothly, but once the engine is warm when you pull away it jerks violently away unless you prod the throttle to release the auto hold and once then it star...

The treatments designed for Petrol engines can yes.

They fail to ignite and noticed one of the bulbs had gone blue. Any link where to get one from? I know Hids4u and hidsdirect, but it's a bit expensive.

You get what you pay for....

I run veg in my T4, £18.65 from my local Booker for 20L so about £12 cheaper per 20L than Diesel

Mine are round 4 LED lamps in the standard fog light holes.

Don't smash the old one, they're highly carcinogenic!!

My tensioner is still going at 172k.

Sounds like it's working properly.

The free running alternator pulley can make the car more "Diesely" if it's seized, I'd check that first.

Have you checked all the possible mechanical causes that could be making it louder?

Exhaust leak?
Free running alternator pulley seized?
Engine cover loose?

I have Hankook on both my estate cars and my van, they're excellent tyres really good value for money and OE fitment on some VWs these days

You need all 4 mate, I tried to get away with just the fronts but it was bloody dangerous, major oversteer turning from major to minor roads in snow and locking up rear brakes when braking on snow, the grip differential is massive. If you're short of cash get part worn rears, any winter tyres are be...

Me too, fantastic winter tyre, quiet on normal roads and really grippy on snow and ice, when we had 9" of snow a couple of years ago I went everywhere the 4x4s went, much to their surprise!

You can get just the dust covers

Could it be that the standard one is now worn out and needs replacing? 190bhp isn't really that much.

Osram Nightbreakers are fantastic bulbs and thoroughly deserve their reputation

4motions seem to wear their tyres out faster, also some of the rear suspension components are pricey and harder to get due to their less common nature.

It's really really easy to work with because you can pull it back off if it creases, it only sets once you've warmed it with a hair dryer type thing.

How's the ride with the coilovers on James?
