It's still doing it, any ideas?, sensor, or injectors on way out? Trevor

I guess no one is experienced enough to answer?????

Hi Guys, I have a octavia VRS TDI and it's started to run rich,as in you can see unburnt diesel coming out of the exhaust and it smells rich too, i'm thinking injector gone down? as the injected quantity has gone up on one cylinder, could it be a seal gone? It's just ticked over to 88,000 miles and it's a PD BMN engine, if this helps. Any ideas? Trevor

Hi Guys, Got a Octavia VRS mk2 2007 TDI running rich, it's on 88,000 miles,any ideas what it might be?, scanned with VDCS and no fault codes on the engine, so I'm thinking mechanical,done the injected quantity and shows some interesting results (see attached), this got me thinking it's a dodgy injector?, or at best a dodgy seal. Just looking for advise from someone that knows the PD engine inside out so to speak. The -1.21,1.69,-0.15 and -0.33 are the injected quantity's, the 1289 is RPM.

@Gizmo Please could you remove me from the list, my cable has broken, and I don't want to spend money on a V2 cable just yet. Thank you. Aston_bodger AKA Trevor

Hi OllieVRS, It could be faulty, mine was genuine when I did mine about 8 years ago. Trevor

My money is on the brake booster, that's where the fluid's going, it's slowly filling that up. If you have no visible leaks, it's that. Trevor

I had mine from Fleabay 6-7 years ago and still going strong, even colour coded too, think they were £15 at the time, yes the lights and the bumper has to come off, on the inside you will see the marks where they cut the holes for the factory fit ones, that's what I used. Just be careful drilling the holes with the hole saw provided, use a block of wood for support, and you will be fine, power is took off the reverse light, earth is just a bolt somewhere, feeding the wires though to the box, I used a grommet already there, think it's for the tow bar?, plenty of sealant round that, it will be ok. Any problems give me a shout. Trevor

@OllieVRS, Is your cable genuine?, if so you should be able to change dealer code and country code, that's all mine needed. Hope this helps, Trevor AKA Aston Bodger

@Wynjones68Try Darkside developments, that's where mine come from. Hope this helps. Trevor

@DanielMcG I would drop Tech1e a PM, he knows these cars inside out, ex main dealer tech. Trevor

Hi, How old is the battery?, mine was playing up some time ago, got it on VDCS and speed sensor intermittent comes up, got a new one, not cheap main dealer part, changed battery and hey presto no more problems. Cos it runs on CAN BUS, it need a constant 12v supply and if it don't get it, it throw a hissy fit. Trevor

Hi Jack, Mine come on with the interior lights, and go off at the same time, not sure why they put it on a separate circuit, just extra work to me making the loom. Trevor

Hi Jack, That is a strange one, maybe something has gone wrong in the unit, and as a result it's throwing the fault code? At least the seats are working. Trevor

Hi Jack, This is a strange one to say the least, it could be the splices causing the problems, high resistance for example, are they soldered or crimped? Trevor
