    i will start from the beginning my friend purchase a car (a4 2005 blb engine) few days of driving engine started to shake like it was misfiring
    so i said i can get the injectors tested to make sure they are fine so a week later i remove injectors and send them off for testing two injectors needed re shimming so once they returned i put them back in car and to my surprise car now not starting so i toe start it and it runs straight away so i turn it of with key and re start seems ok so now i give it a rev and as soon as rpm hits 4000 the engine cuts out and wont re start with key i have to tow start again and evry time im doing this it is getting worse and worse now it has got to a point where it will only run at 3000 rpm+ or it will cut out
    good news is i have a spare blb engine to switch parts so this is what i have got new so far
    new injector loom
    new glowplugs
    used tandom pump i had oil in the fuel tank and particles in fuel filter so needed to be replaced

    the strange thing is their is quit hi pressure in fuel filter return pipe after engine is switched off makes huge puff sound (like an air line from compressor being disconnected) is this normal

    any help would be appreciated

    o yea i have checked the pulse to injectors connected with oscilloscope givving correct wave form ad used the working audi engine as reference

    You need a scan with VCDS mate, it could be a simple sensor costing pennies so no point in randomly changing parts. You need 10 posts to contact a member with VCDS but someone may take a kindly view. VWAF User Location Map - VCDS - Google Maps

    Only the full version of VCDS can test actuator. Theonly manual test I know is "is it stuck"

    STOP using ether! EGR in a diesel reduced the amount of oxygen getting into the engine and in doing so creates soot, carbon and other nasty stuff that jams valves and makes your car run badly, EGR Valve also worsens fuel consumption in a diesel, I don't think there's much pressure on the fuel return.

    just a quick update i have gone back to basics testing the fuel system took single injector out at a time and check for fuel, then put back in and same to the next injector and so on, all are showing flow of fuel
    but even with the injector out with few cranks of engine the fuel filter return is pressured (defiantly is not normal)
    so i checked the running car and after a few cranks no pressure in return of fuel filter

    what i would like to no is is their a one way valve in the return pipe at some point

    my plans for tomara is to switch the tandem pump i am unsure of the used unit i have put on the engine it was one on the shelf i had,

    also i have diesel in sump
    injector seals are new

    is their anything else i should do at this point ?
