Woah, give it time mate.

Try posting in the MK4 section for starters. Someone will help, just give it some time, there doesn't seem to be any Diesel experts on at the moment, post in the MK4 section and wait a bit, someone will help.

Len was trying to help.

It is the worst thing that can happen to a Diesel. And it sounded from your post that you hadnt driven this car before.

What kind of bang was it? I mean did it sound as if something big dropped off? Or was it like a backfire, like a firework going off?
