Title: Uneven running 300 tdi - am i bonkers
Post by: bambamjj on July 12, 2008, 21:39:42: Hello

i have a 300 TDI and sometimes i think it appears to run/idle very poorly. Then Same day, start it 10 Mins or 6 hours later and it seems to run so sweet, But i can start it 10 Mins or ^ hours later and it still runs rough. Never seems to run well i feel until it has been run for 20 - 30 mins.

I do wonder if it is me and my mood and expectations.... :evil:

Is it me just being slightly bonkers

if you`ve run veg oil, this may also point to injectors, the 300`s arent too keen on saving the planet :lol:
