Tbf i have managed this once myself, but it was before i passed my test, on the day i first bought the car, i was in third instead of first....
I think the stalling is due to the clutch/fork bushes as said, but still shouldn't stall that easy in a derv, pulled away a few times in third in the golf accidentally lol, but the clutch was much smoother and it wouldn't stall unless you dropped the clutch in 6th lol. What can be broken to make it underfuel or not avoid stalling though? Idled rough in the cold too....might be something to do with it?

Are you moaning about 306 HDi's in general or just the example that you have begrudgingly borrowed from an understanding mate?
On the whole there's nothing wrong with a 306 HDi - they're simple motoring. They won't do 60mpg and they're not as fast as a Golf but then they are vastly less complicated! And if they do go wrong they're cheap to fix; I'm not sure what more someone could want?!
Bit of both lol, I can see this isn't a perfect hdi, but I also can't see anything that would stand out as making them particularly good on any other one. If the next one I get is cheap tax, reliable, fast enough to live with and good on fuel I'll retract my previous statements about them, but I don't think it'll happen somehow.
Plus simplicity isn't always best - I need a CV boot on the hdi, that means draining 15 quid of gearbox oil! Shafts are bolted in on the pd, no oil loss, cheaper job!
. And have you done anything with the hdi? There's no space at all, god knows what we'd do if the boost pipe broke, there's not enough space to get to it! Atleast there's easy access in the golf lol, can have my bumper, all boost pipes and the ic out and back in under half hour lol.(07-10-2012, 08:05 PM)Niall Wrote: tom just because theres no code associated to fueling doesnt mean its not broken. Codes mean f*ck all really in real garages. there just a vague idea of what is wrong
Have youo been in a real garage? First thing they do with an EML fault is plug them in lol....then check autodata/manufacturer diag tool for ideas on what to do about the problem. Thankfully they don't need to do hours of checking everything with multimeters any more, that's kinda the point of the standard obd stuff.
