How common on TD5's there seems to be a conflict - some sites say common others say not.
I ask because of the configuration and the habit the TD5 seems to have of filling the sump with diesel. Although I am under the impression that the later 2003 onward TD5's (of which mine is one) don't suffer this issue so much - true or false?
My induction system was full of oil too thanks to the turbo (I hope) which has now been replaced. There was no evidence of excess pressure in the crankcase unless the PCV isn't doing its job and the turbo was sucking it through of course - catch can needed perhaps.
So how common are runaways on TD5's is it something to worry about if maintenance is on the ball?
