how does a bad VCV look like
Thumbs Up

Since I wasted a lot of time trying to find out how to diagnose a bad VCV here it is

Take it out.
Take it apart.
Look at the piston.

I’d say that’s bad. That scuffing doesn’t look good for something that should move smoothly in a bore. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I think you must have had a lot of water or contamination in your diesel to get it that bad. 😬

Nope, just our normal diesel from our wondrous state refinery. Panama is too far from where I live, but you feel the difference straight away. Nicaragua has the same 'quality' Big Cry we get here
