Evening All
My wife has a real piece of junk looking Audi 80 TDi Estate (93/L). Honestly, someone poured paint stripper down one side and the previous owner got a spray can and went mad, its one of those cars that would put you off buying a house in my street.
Thing is, its brilliant!!!! I put £12 of diesel in it and got 215 miles, it runs on a mixture of fresh air, diesel droplets and fairys tears. It only cost me £200 and has sailed through two MOT's so far without even an advisory.
Reason its so economical is because its gutless. I don't mean 90bhp gutless I mean beaten away from the lights by lorrys gutless. I once timed the 0-60 and it was 32+ seconds.
I have checked for leaks, I have replaced the turbo with a known working S/H one, I have stripped the inlet manifold off it and cleared all the gunk out (common problem apparently) but no matter what I do, I take it for a test drive and that huge wave of disappointment that you can only get when youve spent hours grazing knuckles for no reason fills my body.
I have read on another forum something about the third injector maybe being faulty but even second hand they go for over £100 so unless im sure, I don't want to go down that route!
Starting with free things, what can it be?
Thanks for any help
