Mk7 tdci intermittent starting issues

[andz327]

Not keen on driving this van now ,what do these engines go for?£_
May sell complete van for engine price,
Someone with knowledge may make it good

For fooked engine price dont you mean

Engine reving it's t!ts off and you have to stall van to stop can it running ?? If thats what happened then a few things could probably cause it, but most common arr ......some numpty has poured 10ltrs of oil into engine or turbo impeller has fooked and dumped oil into the cylinders...... Outcome of both are much the same as at this point the engine is using oil as fuel and stuff like pistons start melting due temperatures and high max revs........long story short .......engine is fooked,
Using easy start can also fook up the engine if you use to much to often

If it's starting with easy start and runs ok either slacken the crank sensor and push it in more or replace crank sensor and try

No need for easy start

Well,I today started and drove the van(with caution)
In case it goes on mad one again
All went OK(been standing for a week)
After cooled down I checked oil,this is very high,maybe this is cause of high revs ,?
