Alright well I turned it ever so slightly out and it is all well now. No more hanging and the engine brakes properly  :D'

Thanks for all help!

you have a photobucket account (or something similar for hosting pics)??

if you do, you upload your pics to there, and then you use the IMG code from there..

I have this very problem of hanging the accelerator on upshift.  Time to go play with the screws for smoke, idle and retime I suppose.  Just had the injectors rebuilt as I thought that might be the problem.  I did see leaky fuel in two of the chambers when I removed them.  I also have a difficult time starting it and once it fires it is very smokey.  But goes away and no smoke at high rpms and long hill pulls.  Very confusing symptoms so it seems.  One set of indicators points me one direction but then another set says no, don't go there.

Have to love them diesels though.  Keeps me out of the bars.

well, i would say you are on the right track. the hanging throttle on shifts, definitely fuel screw related..

and as for the smokey, difficult starts, that sounds like your timing is quite a bit retarded from where it should be.

(when i had a gasser mk2, i was always in the bars. now that im driving my diesel again, ive been to the bar maybe twice in the last 6 months. [because i was always busy working on the diesel)

I had a hanging idle once for no reason (meaning I hadn't messed with anything lately), turned out the two lever return springs on top of the IP were binding. I had to remove the bottom one to fix it, it also gave the pedal a lighter feel.
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Pedal is plenty light, no problem there.  But with the smoke screw turned in as much as it is you can see why.  Work to do this weekend.  Just need to stop at the store for brew after the work is done.
