Diesel regulation valve replacement

If your Mazda 6 (mine's a 2 litre TD) experiences the following, then I'd suggest replacing the fuel regulation valve: -

• engine cutting out or stalling when slowing down
• fluctuating idle
  
• no faults stored on the computer
  

For a while, it was a difficult problem to isolate and the dealers, who want to make a killing out of you, will tell you to replace the fuel pump. That will only cost you between £1,000 and £1,500 so I opted for the cheaper option of replacing the fuel regulation valve.

It cost me £190 in total, thankfully covered by warranty, but the part is approximately £130. The fuel system is Denso and the guy who did the work for me was PJ Jones in Stretford, Manchester. Hope this helps someone out there ;)

Things change a lot in my life. Finding myself out of a job is not uncommon, and this time, I'm strangely finding it a time of peace, rather than storm. The above headline spoke to me as I drove home today. I know that it is not in vain and I trust in Him who is able to deliver me.

I'm full of excitement as I journey down life's unpredictable path, knowing God has it all planned out. Whatever happens in life doesn't compare to what has happened outside of it. The show must go on.
