• Omega Diesel - Rough Idle Running 12 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  This is the BMW unit. When the engine gets to full operating temperature tickover becomes lumpy. Otherwise it runs fine. I recently replaced the inlet manifold gaskets as part of a glowplug replacement, so it's not pulling in air. The problem was there prior to this. I use Millers Dieselclean Plus as recommended by HJ.

  Hi, I'm thinking of buying an Octavia diesel,does anyone know of any faults, expensive repairs etc. And would the SDi be any better, cheaper to run than the TDi. I'm not really bothered about speed, just economy and cheap running costs. Thanks in advance.

• Peugeot 806 - Peugeot 806 Running Problems 7 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  If I take the wires off of the common rail pressure sensor, it will drive without cutting out and it doesn't run on when you switch it off, but it still has the light on and still won't rev past 3000rpm and it runs very rough. I have fitted a new common rail pressure sensor thinking it may be that (£120 worth) but it is still the same.
