New Kentish Campers wrote:What Kev states is correct. You'd need to drop the tank to do the job. However, if the tank is the original then is likely started to rust as water can sit on the top of it. Do you ever notice the smell of petrol or noticed a leak when filling up?
yes this all sounds horribly familiar...my WBX has the same symptoms, wont tick over after choke...
keeping a watchful eye on this post..

Blockages in tanks manifest themselves worst when the demand for fuel is high, not at tickover

Yes - I will investigate that - I also had the issue with the smell of fuel, although shes not been ''filled up'' for years. Will check for the leaks as suggested...check / replace fuel filters etc...
thanks

Re: Tickover HELP Keeps cutting out when the revs drop
Hi all, I have had similar problems with my 1.9dg starting problems mainly. In the past 2 years I've done the tank,fuel lines, electrics and carb but will the brake servo hose prevent it from starting intermitantly ?
