I haven't been on here for sooooo long as fortunately, when I had it, my Bravo didn't have any problems (appart from the b***ard alarm!). I have since passed the car on to my dad and I now drive a Golf (booo, hisss I hear you say!).
Within the last few days the Bravo's battery ran down (crazy head-unit issues!) and after jump starting it, it was idleing VERY eratically so I cleaned the throttlebody butterfly and checked the sensor plugs etc. Managed to get it running normally but had the ominous injector light intermittently showing up coupled with sivere poor performance.
After taking it to my usual garage to accurately diagnose to problem, I was faced with the potential cost of £300 to fix the two faulty injectors (£100each and £100 labour). This extra cost could not have come at a worse time, and I was adamant I would find a way round it.
Then I thought it was worth a look on here to see if anyone else had the same problems......
After reading the numerous threads about 1.6 injectors and the relentless help and guidence 'Jug' has given, I am relieved and confident that a trip to my local scrappy and half an hour or so will see the Bravo back to full health.
Without the sometimes step-by-step guide Jug has given people, found through the SEARCH facility on this site (prehaps people should learn to use this more!), I would quite possibly have been £300 worse off!
My hat is well and truely off sir, THANK-YOU!
I appologise for the long windedness of this post, I though I'd make up for not visiting for so long and Jug's efforts warrant it.
