Unfortunately, no codes came up with the Snapon Machine....so still none the wiser...the intake manifold flap seems to open and close freely enough....so not sure what to do next? Any thoughts guys?

OK will point the mech in that direction...thanks Simon

Yes, all cleaned.... Would that show an error code? Cheers Simon

Any developments on this issue? Seems I may have a similar problem....kind regards Simon

Hi guys, 2004 CDTI developed an occasional issue when starting....engine revs climb to around 1500 then drop and slowly pick up again, rev the engine a few times and seems ok....just a bit annoying tbh. May be similar issue to the pinned intermittent accelerator issue. Dropping into my...

Been running green stuff for a while.....pros low dust....cons.....noisey and low grab at slow speeds....just changed for Blueprint when the EBC pad detached itself from the backing Blueprint are much quieter and the performance in normal driving much improved..
