Had to pack in on new years morning due to engine sounding like it was running on 3 cylinders
To try and describe the sound its a cross between a stick in a bike wheel and the engine on a canal boat
Anyone had a similar experience and what was the cause injector or timing belt tension-er
Car 1.9 tdi 105 BHP

Just had the AA out and he said that the exhaust is blowing back through the air intake so its a garage job
could be one of 3 things sticky valve, injector, or egr :sad:
And not to drive it, as if its the valve and it breaks it will cause more damage

You seem to be suffering from mood swings on this thread skip, you went from disappointment, to mild euphoria to depression in a few posts.
