I removed all the Earth Wires behind the Fuse Board, fitted new Terminals on all Earths and cleaned up Earth Connectors, gave the van a run and still the same problem so I started checking behind the dash and found that the problem was caused by a faulty nut that holds the wiring membrane in place b...

The problem that I am getting, is that if I drive for around 10 miles then stop and turn off the engine for a few minutes, when I start the van again ...

Hi there,
Cheers for that info.....the engine in my van was replaced in 2001 acording to the bills that came with it and it is a 1.9 diesel non turbo, poss from a passat or a Golf Mk3. I have tried bleeding the standard way but seem to have air up towards the rad.

Hi there, I have noticed that on my camper there is what looks like a Bleed Pipe for the Cooling System( it seems that the earlier 1.9 diesels had them fitted), can someone tell me if this is so, and if so how do you go about bleeding it. See pic below. Many Thanks Dave http://i89.photobucket.com/al...

Off for test run, results to follow.
All the best
