  1. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/fuel-filter-replacement-2009-vw-jetta-golf-jsw-and-audi-a3-tdi/
  2. How has he been priming the new fuel pumps? Has he used the lift pump to prime / purge the system? Running the high pressure fuel pump dry without first priming / purging the system will likely destroy it / cause the iron filings as it relies on diesel for lubrication. This page gives the relevant instructions. Look particularly at the section with the vcds instructions and the video just below: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/fuel-filter-replacement-2009-vw-jetta-golf-jsw-and-audi-a3-tdi/
  3. Have a look at Archoil AR6400-D and BG244 for cleaning injectors / carbon deposits. For ongoing maintenance / cleaning, try something like Archoil AR6200, Archoil AR6800 or Millers Diesel Power Ecomax at each fill up (or use premium diesel). http://www.powerenhancer.co.uk/shop-by-category/fuel-treatment-cleaners/high-strength-fuel-cleaners/diesel.html
  4. Another US take on the outcome (Samantha Bee) - NSFW:

  6. It appears that what you want might not be what leave are actually offering you. We can only wait and see what actually happens. http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/uk_576e2967e4b08d2c56393241?edition=uk&icid=maing-grid7%7Cuk-ttg%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D473299
  7. Did you forget about cake? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DF1MVZYtX5Zg&ved=0ahUKEwis1M2xqcPNAhWLC5oKHcTlASMQtwIIUjAN&usg=AFQjCNFwo-5bvMf7hVsf_HVMPCkimvsM1g&sig2=oEe5CCUTusinGLexSqOiRw
  8. Good to see politicians sticking to form - hopefully no-one voted leave on the basis of there being an end to free movement of labour / workers across Europe including the UK... http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/evan-davis-newsnight-bbc-daniel-hannan-mep-eu-referendum-brexit_uk_576e2967e4b08d2c56393241
  9. Surely by voting out we've given them no choice over keeping the opportunities we've had (such as free access to work / live / travel anywhere in Europe)?If we'd voted in and it all went t*ts up in the future there'd still have been the opportunity for another referendum / leave decision. Unfortunately the decision has now been made, and it has been made based on a lot of unknowns / what ifs and there is no going back now.
  10. It seems a lot of the younger generation who will have to live with the long term consequences of what has been done to them today aren't happy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-36616698 Take a look at the channel tunnel update towards the bottom of the above linked page, it made me smile...
  11. Judging by the share of votes cast, this might be the start of the end of the UK as a country as we know it, with the calls for a second Scottish independence vote already starting and even rumblings about Northern Ireland too. I hope the politicians can keep the country together, but we have shown that we are anything but a United Kingdom on this key issue. The markets also look set to react very badly this morning to the result, pound already down 10% and predictions of 12-19% drop for FTSE100. We can only wait and see now how this will turn out in the fullness of time...
  12. Lots of black smoke means the mix is too rich, either not enough air/oxygen or too much diesel. Have a look at this page and follow the guidance: https://sites.google.com/site/1810martin/vcds-and-pd-tdi-engine-health-check Prior to performing the above checks note what is mentioned about ensuring the air filter and fuel filter are ok / fitting new ones. The coolant temperature sensor is a common failure point that would result in overfueling and it doesn't usually flag a fault code.
  13. Although you can check your option codes on the sticker, the front brake code often isn't included. Since your car isn't a vRS, the different size front brakes can be determined by looking for FS-III stamped in the front outer face of the front calipers - if you have alloys this should be clearly visible through the gaps in the alloy. FS-III = 280mm brakes. This page explains the brake assignments according to engine code, gearbox type, 4WD/2WD and build date: http://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/octavia-mk2/brake_systems/technical_data/brakes/brake_variants_and_their_assignment/
  14. Machine mart sell them. I have this set: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cht144-40-pce-torxspline-bit-holder-s/ Triple square bits are also known as spline or XZN bits There are other sets / options on the machine mart website
  15. Must be off the top of your screen, try this link for the mk1 octavia: http://vagfans.info/EN/skoda/CZ/OCT/Octavia/2005/252 or this is another option: http://parts-catalogs.club/skoda/en/?i=cat_vag_models&brand=sk&number=81&
