I have a Peugeot with a IP that looks like yours except the small fuel pipe. Where does the wires go from it?

A heater is a must for a TDI, they take forever to warm up!

Thanks on the info on the gasoline adding, I think I will try to avoid this though. Yeah, our local guys probably could install the block heater, it is that they won't. Few options in this local area. MPalm the hose heaters look like a good idea. There seems to be one model that would go into a rad...

I suppose there's always an oil pan heater, once I can get under there again. Nobody here is willing to install a block heater and stand behind the installation. Why? Even a engine with good compression struggels to start at -25C without a block heater. Do you have the kind of heaters that are moun...

I think the -91 has some restriction on the intake side, how's the air filter?

If you don't loosen the cam sprocket you almost certainly will retard the cam timing when you tighten the tensioner.
That's why there's no key in it in the first place...

When your car was made, diesel fuel had 2000 parts per million (PPM) of sulfer in the fuel. Sulfer is a lubricant. In the mid-late 90's, this was dropped to 500 PPM, and starting in 2007 it dropped to 15ppm. The IP in your car was not designed to run on 15PPM fuel, but manufacturers are supposed to...

Any cracks at all anywhere between the intake plate and the engine is bad, no matter how small, because less vacuum is created and therefore the plate doesn't move down as much as it should, which leads to a lean mixture. I think it sounds like you have an air leak somewhere, and if I'm not mistaken...

Did you loosen the cam sprocket when you put the belt on?
Maybe it's your cam timing that is off, not IP?

It only takes a few degrees on the cam to make it run terribly, a few more and the valves kiss the pistons.

It should run pretty well with the timing set by the locking tools. I wonder if you have got the IP 180 degr off, as it rotates at half of the crank speed the crank TDC mark will be at the right spot 2 times during a full revolution of the IP sprocket. Nah, it wouldn't run at all in that case, would...

With the cam and crank at TDC you should be able to put a lockin pin in to the IP. The hole is at 12 o'clock IIRC and the pin goes thru the sprocket and the IP bracket and in to the IP. Move the IP until the pin goes all the way in and it will start nicely. Btw the IP has 4 bolts, not three, if you...

Your empty LDA means that the engine is a eco-diesel, it doesn't have any boost enrichment at all.

PD engines did have some issues with the camshafts. They say this is avoided by using the recommended oil (which of course is expensive) but I really can't see how a certain oil can have that effect. I mean, if I by the best Mobil1, Shell, Valvoline or whatever they should be good enough but no, it ...

I replaced the RH front fender due to rust on top of the wheel arch (standard rust on Golf IV, I'll tell why shortly) and discovered that behind the inner lining at the rear of the fender there was a LOT of dirt! That's where the water should be drained but the dirt prevents this. I had dirt tightly...
