300 TDi questions
Hi,
I have a 300 TDi with 118,000 on the clock (with a full history, ex utilities). I've had a new timing belt and complete service and it runs really well. Just got back from 3k trip round the Alps and Pyrenees and two or three things have come up - I'd appreciate any advice or ideas from anybody who has a better knowledge of this enging than me...
1). the second injector pipe fractured and the snapped in half. Is this a common problem ? (now replaced and the engine is fine again)
2). I get an occasional high pitch squeal from the front end, which I think is coming from the water pump. Is this the likely source of the noise or is there some other part I should have looked at ?
3). the clutch pedal has less resistance to it than when I set out. The service record I have does not say that the clutch ahs ever been replaced. I'm leaving on an 18 month trip in six months time. Would you get the clucth changed now ?
thanks for your thoughts ...
Simon
