Try the mass airflow sensor as well, the one on my mates passat was knackerd, bought a new one and fitted it for him and there was a 100% improvement. £70 new from euro car parts. Probably more for a TX.
Ive been to M&O a couple of times with my mate and have seen the same thing, loads of p*ssed off cab drivers!.

First month now over with, no problems, apart from the whining noise the Ford engine makes when you acelerate.

I'll get used to it.

Fingers crossed. :wink:

Well its nearly a year now, and so far its given me very little problems in comparison with the last one.

Early days yet, but I'm expecting a cheap annual overhaul.

£50 to be precise.

1 year up, and I'm still very happy with my purchase, 90K on the clock.
