• Volvo 805 T5 battery problem ? 30 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Any of you technical chaps got any thoughts as to why the battery on my brother's 850 T5 keeps running down. It's not old and seems to lose its charge even after a long run on the motorway. The obvious thing to do is to buy another but could it be something else which might damage the new battery ?

• Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0tdi 2010 - Rattling noise from engine area 10 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  Now the odd thing is is if the car is then driven on a run the noise is no longer there when switching off and back on. The same later in day and the same for several days. If the car is left and not driven for longer periods then the noise will return of what appears to be a poorly running engine in my opinion.
• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 01 2.0 HDI 110 - P0190 AP Fault 21 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Had a second hand fuel tank fitted after the old one was vandalised and this seems to be when the problems started. At idle it runs very poorly and even when I drive it there is a heavy crackling noise. I think it is missing and this is causing the noise. It can get a bit better when it warms up and occasionally it runs OK for a couple of days.
• Any - Diesel engine timing and temperature 20 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  Can the timing being slightly 'out' cause a diesel engine to run hot? I ask as since the timing belt change recently my Berlingo has been getting 40 more miles to the tank and seems to run cooler! I even phoned the mechanic to say thanks for doing a good job and he said it was out by a few degrees!
