My N reg 1.7d Combo van has been stood a while and was running fine to my knowledge before i sorned it..
I went to start it last month and it started but wont rev up. I was told it could be water in the fuel filter, so i ordered a new filter and fitted it today along with a fully recharged battery. It still wont rev at all and then wants to stall, i noticed today that exhaust fumes were coming out of the inlet pipe when i disconnected it from the airbox is this normal as I read that the EGR valve will recirculate a certain amount of exhaust gas????
Overall im puzzled and dont know wether its a small issue or if compression is effected and could be a major issue.

I wanted to put it on the road asap as its great in the winter in snowy condtions, any help appreciated.

Cheers, Andy

try bleeding it through the injectors may be air locked although i woulnt see why but worth a go, also when you replaced the fuel filter did you fill the housing back up with diesel before replacing the top?
