TC otherwise performs perfectly.
Initial thought is blocked breather.
Even though it is almost physically impossible to get at the tc and trans breathers in the engine bay as they are up tight against the rear of the rocker cover I was able to Get a bit of fuel line on the ends and blow down them....I got the expected bellow effect ie big blow in then the air returns up the line. But I am not 100% sure so I want to undo the banjo end on the TC and then make sure it is clear there and that I can blow air through from there.
It is a pia to get to as well!
The banjo is accessibe with advanced yoga techniques..then the line is clamped only about 6 inches away...so I am wondering how to go about it without getting my upper body jammed under the tunnel..or causing the dog to run away again.
Any ideas on the best way forward....or is it just time for a reco TC?
Can get to the banjo fitting from underneath without too much drama. Was ok on mine a least, 200tdi D1.
