300 tdi with EDC engine

<< < (2/2)

BILKO:
Sorry Thrasher for being hasty, just been told that the imoboliser won't work if i follow this route and that insurance would be null and void :x.
So now i'm on the look out for a good working throttle potentiometer.

johnpirate:
Hi mine has been doing this for a while.It does every few minutes for ages then stops.It was annoying as hell yesterday but today it has behaved itself.I need to get a definative answer on the fault before I start buying bits.I put some veg oil in a few weeks ago and it didnt run too well on it.I,m wondering if it did something I didnt realise at the time.

axeman:
Hi, i have had a similar problem after running veg oil in my 300 disco with edc engine check light comes on loses power then seems to sort itself out, and sourced the problem to some crap in the fuel line..... i flushed it through with one of those cheap hand pumps on ebay and it has been fine since.... i hope your problem is as cheaply sorted

Porny:
You can still make the immobilser work without a problem...

A Land Rover Immobilser (when they work) cut the feed to the fuel stop solenoid and break the 12v crank feed to the starter... a little bit of re-wiring, and jobs a good'un.

Personnally...

I'd remove all the ECU gubins (don't actually understand why people are telling you keep it in place :?) and do a set up as per early 300Tdi Auto's (which didn't have EDC)... any power loss (as a EDC auto makes 122bhp, compared to 111bhp) can be corrected by a few simple tweaks of the injector pump!!
