Dear All,

After filtering through the wealth of information here, I managed to get my Vauxhall claim approved.

Classic actuator rod looking forlorn on the inlet manifold on a 54k 55 plate Signum 1.9 CDTi (full Vx service history also helped). Armed with the field remedy and the PDF from Pierburg, and with the help of the excellent Woods garage of West Calder, they have agreed to pay 50% towards the new inlet manifold (not the gasket and other sundries) and the labour. Must say that Vauxhall customer services, while not full of the joys of spring, were perfectly polite and non-confrontational.

Once again thanks for all of your help - already cleaned my EGR, throttle body, windscreen wash filter with the help of the how2s.

Keep up the good work,

Mark
