O-rings and or injector cleaner seems to have fixed it for now. Just a wheel bearing to sort next, that's not going to be fun...

Unless it is really bad, they are all like that.

Purged the air by removing the rubber cap on the end of the fuel rail and letting the car tick over with the fuel going into an empty bottle. Is that the correct way? Thermostatic valve seems to be logical as the stalling on start issue only happens when warm, it starts first time every time when cold. I have a pair of o-rings that were given by a friend. The filter I bought from GSF didn't come with any unfortunately. Will try that next, do you know which order they go in as I seem to remember both of the originals being black when I looked at fitting them last time. Have discussed the fuel strainer already and it is a possibility as it does tend to happen when the tank has been run to near-empty.

Any help from you SDI boffins would be appreciated.

I've started to get a bit of a weird problem with my SDi that I can't get to the bottom of. Basically, when being a bit generous with the accelerator pedal the car will attempt to stall. There's a bit of a bang and the car lurches forwards before picking up again and acting like nothing happened. Also, at times when starting the car whilst warm (after waiting for the glow plug light to go off), it will cut out instantly. This feels very similar to when starting the car with a key that hasn't been programmed to the ECU. The issues only started after changing the fuel filter but not purging the air from the system, however I have now done this so shouldn't be an issue. No fault codes are logged on the ECU when either problem occurs. Everything seems to point towards fuel starvation but there isn't a massive amount of air in the lines, maybe a small flurry of air when revving to approx 3k RPM. The stalling on start also makes me think the immobiliser may be at fault. I have a bottle of injector cleaner which I'm going to chuck into the tank and see what happens. Anyone else had a similar issue?

Top side is red, bottom side has been sprayed black.

Bump before it gets weighed in.

Done & done. Cheers.

Yeah no worries, pm me your payment details

Now on ebay, make me an offer. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/331817661448?

Only owned this car for two months after crashing my Passat 130PD, now buying/bought a new car so it's time to sell. The bodywork is by no means perfect, there is a dent to the drivers side rear quarter (pictured) and some minor scuffs from the previous owner around the bumpers. The dent would probably be repaired easily by a mobile technician for not a lot, and the scuffs would look much better after a bit of cutting compound. I would do this myself but I don't want to sugar coat the car in any way. Having said that, the car seems to be mechanically sound and serves me well doing 50 miles a day for work and starting perfectly every time. In the two months I've owned the car it has had the following work carried out: New brake discs New brake pads New ARB bush Engine oil change Oil filter change Fuel filter change Coolant change Gearbox oil change Located in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire but can deliver if necessary (within reason). Sensible offers considered, viewings welcome.

Need this gone as it's taking up space I don't have. As per title, it is a bonnet for a VW Lupo wrapped in matt black. The bonnet was originally red however the top was wrapped by the previous owner. It does not have a cutout for the VW emblem and is designed for use with badgeless grilles - I can include one for an extra £5 I can include a set of hinges that I have for it too, also black.
