Cheers, Another symptom I have is on start up the engine revs race and huge amounts of thick white smoke fills the drive, this clears after driving about a mile or so, though the engine sounds like it is gasping, I know it's done 93000 and is probably due changing for a 200tdi, but I would like to make it last as long as possible. :D

Les Henson:
I think you'll find that the two problems are related. Fuel being pushed up the boost pipe will end-up in the compressor side of the turbo, which will eventually end-up in the engine via the inlet manifold - making it run rich. If your diaphragm is split, then replace it and run the engine for a while. You'll probably find that it will clean itself up after a while.

Well that will give you something to do tomorrow mate give me a bell if you need a hand with anything  ;)

Les Henson:
I should have added that there are two springs and a shim washer that you have to re-use - it's important that the height of the central pin on the new diaphragm is the same as the old with the shim washer fitted. The springs are different tensions too - one is a damping spring and the other is a control spring, so make sure they go back in the same position. You can adjust pin height with a stupidly small allen key and (I think), 8mm spanner.

Mark Y:
Les, thanks for the advice, I have looked in the Haynes manual and there is no mention of how to do this etc, have you got any diagrams or a source I can get them from,thanks
