the only advise from your self is to check the damper pulley .no i do not have a 200 tdi but i did own one a few year ago.unfortuanatly the timing belt let go... ps i never knew it was agaisnt the rules to comment on a topic if you dont have the same vehicle or engine

are you serious someone tweaked there fuel pump with out any preassure or live data readings or dyno testing nor EGTs and boost pressures are you suggesting he turned a few things up then just winged it from the exhaust smoke?or using a flow meter since you have done some reading your the...

thats a very good idea and good choice running some more tests ...and further diagnosing before changing the turbo and head gasket

how sure are you this time its not a turbo ?

so its ok to have a restriction before the restriction ? or maybe that crank pulley is loose aye

if my memory is correct there is a banjo bolt in the rear of the fuel pump that has gauze type filter .... maybe worth checking as when this blocks up it can play all kinds of havoc on your fuelling strategy

very poor install or poor instructions ? a fitter just does what is told.... just goes with the flow then fits the parts... he she might be good hands on only type person and knows how to use a wrench or slap an engine together quickly a mechanic will take time at a higher pay rate...

all good mate i used the air intake of a snorkal basically shows the same princable how to remove water droplets ... as a swirl type affect inside an air cleaner form only .i wish i was on the same page as you before commenting i will admitt i jumped in with both feet and had one of...

basics of our stock swirls...

i stand corrected i have never took much notice in the bottom of the air cleaner box yes i agree dont remove this if you live in an area with lots of rain as the air intake is inside the wheel arch area

electrolysis can also be an issiue use a volt meter is there a voltage in your coolant system when engine is running ..if your radiator isnt free flowing on its own (disconnected from the engine ) ? then you have found the issue as your radaitor should be free flow on its own in a man...

i agree mechanical reading is better to determine if its an electrical issue as we need to compare data its classed as a 2nd opinion

there are mixed opinions regardless how large your cooling system is oil temp is over looked maybe ask allisport if your electric system is up to scratch

if your engine coolant isnt over heating this does not mean your engine oil temp maybe to high either using the stock engine oil cooler ? from the UK and now australia ..i am starting to see more internal damages to engines and more turbo failures .. people fitting in larger radiators...

i was replying to tom as he was asking about a standered decent radiator ... i was trying to explain a new radiator will be better than his old one

just wasnt to sure mate not many people like the extra gauges installed even when trying to diagnose an issiue. or look after there investment by adding .. boost/ fuel pressures / oil pressure EGTS etc i will agree they are a better hoses but why the need to change them out .... dont forget...

edit duplicate post

please tread carefully just be mindful of others as there are members here who lurk in the back ground..... who do not like the fact of extra gauges installed as they are classed as a worry gauge LOL i have been down this path once before posting vids of my own or trying to help while...
