Please do not remove the ALDA, unless the OP would like to decrease MPG, increase smoke and engine wear, and remove a safety device.

Guys, this really drives me nuts, no offense intended, but the ALDA was put there for a reason by BOSCH engineers who know far more about diesel injection than we ever will.

ALDA's tend to lean out with age. Many have found that normal performance is restored if the screw is backed out about 1/2 to 1 turn.
