I have had a limp mode problem with my recently purchased car. Searching the forum I saw it is a common problem, and is often related to EGR valve. I took it off to clean it, and saw the manifold is packed with black gunk. So I decided to clean it as well. During the disassembly I took off the diesel rail, the pipes from it to injectors, the coolant expansion valve, the hydraulic oil reservoir and some king of a fuel canister (filter?) next to it. I discovered the previous owner disposed of the manifold swirl valve system (neither the servo nor the valves are installed) plugging the holes with bolts. After reassembly I have 2 spare plugs running from the box beneath the injector pipes together with the ground wire for the starter motor. One of them I believe belongs to the non-existent swirl valves servo, the other one (yellow with a black casing, 2 wires) I can not find where to plug. I would not worry about it, assuming it is just another spare plug (there are plenty of those in the engine bay), but the car won't start. I tried to bleed the air by unscrewing the copper pipes from injectors and pumping the rubber manual pump which is installed on one of inlet line until diesel starts squirting. No avail, I can't start the car. I guess I really need some help here. I have never owned a diesel before. I have taken some pics of those plugs, I can upload them if I find a way to do it...
