George the Disco:
Like I said, I've not changed anything. I'll have a look at the pipes as I guess that the problem is between the pump and the engine.

Diesel filter....now theres an idea.

If it's a pipe leaking you'll probably be able to smell the diesel and may well have a thin coating of it on your rear door.

If the TDI has them the most likely pipes to be leaking are the short return pipes that loop between the injectors. I've had a few of these fail on several diesel cars and vans.
