You find me a good straight rust free TDDi (which I have never found near me) at a good price and I might show some interest, even then I'm not in a position to let my unrepaired van go at a loss as spares and simply pay for another one.
I can buy this rotten van with genuine 70k and service history for £300, do an engine/wiring/PCM swap, plus get all the other parts off that my van could do with. Might not be an easy option, but it is an option.
This is a cheaper option than even remanufactured injectors that I then have to pay someone to programme, with every chance that my TDCi engine with no history will play up again, pump might have issues, the turbo has known issues, and on and on.
they are a known unreliable lump, that I have avoided so far until now when I discovered one in this van after I brought it.
Money is tight and I have to explore all options.
Anyhow, just as an update, I have fitted a new cyl head temp sensor as the old one had bad soldering done on the wiring so that the wires were sometimes touching, so that was likely the cause for some cutting out and the fan being on.
Cam sensor has been changed.
Got a new fuel pump pressure valve coming, more for elimination purposes. This will be the last cheap fix I can try before going down the injector change route.
