mk5 turbo diesel

[pipeforce]

Any one help. My 1999 mk5 has started doing a couple of strange things when started from cold I get a couple of ks down the road then the van speeds up on her own I take my foot of the pedal then she starts to slow pumps smoke out of exhaust then I push the pedal the smoke clears then shes fine. Done it twice now about a week apart

you might have to change to manual pump as the epic is a bitch (and expensive) look hear.

What colour smoke

I'd remove the rocker cover and check that all the 10mm bolts are in place
When was the fuel filter last replaced

[pipeforce]

Grey smoke and I replaced the fuel filter about 8000 km ago how often should it be changed

Think ive solved the prob. van was running very cold on these winter mornings changed the thermostat and everything is sweet.

Cold winter mornings?... what like 13/15c LOL

13c mornings is cold when your dressed in shorts ready for a nice 26c winter day on the building site

The Scottish guys on here get their shorts on when the temperature rises above freezing

Here in Norway we had some frosty nites until the middle of May... ice on my windshiel every morning.
