    Mystery Engine Sensor?

    OK thanks. Will leave it where it is not doing any harm. I just wondered what it was meant to do. Regards

    Mystery Engine Sensor?

    Pictured attached, wasn't sure if it was simply to hold the cable away from the pipes below or should be somewhere else? Thanks

    Mystery Engine Sensor?

    OK thanks. There's a foam ring just hanging from the cable, any idea what this is for?

    Mystery Engine Sensor?

    Can anyone tell me what the sensor is in picture, the wiring has a socket/connector with a blanking plug in it (not quite visible in photo) it then goes into the ECU box. When car recently in the local garage mechanic there thought it was some kind of modification but wasn't sure. Thanks

    TD4 lumpy misfire

    I've recently had similar problem, see thread 05 td4 irregular throttle response, idle lumpy and couldn't hold revs steady below 1800rpm but mine was worse when engine cold (very under powered) was a faulty injector.

    Quick update, removed egr valve and cleaned it, was quite dirty but not stuck open at all. refitted but made no difference to 'lumpy idle' Disconnected MAF but this made no difference, possibly made idle worse. Added a dose of Millers Eco Max to the tank of Esso diesel put in last night and...

    05 TD4 iregular throttle response?

    I've had a good tug on the crank pulley and seems solid. Hoping its nothing as serious as crankshaft. Have a feeling (hoping) its just running rough. Tonight idle speed low, about 750rpm and engine skaking ( possibly causing vibration). Read on here how esso diesel is better performance so...
