Engine Managment light... my First time.
Well here goes,
I turned the key with the clutch pressed(i always do ) and the car started to crank over 2-3 times but did not catch (i had not turned the key fully) i then turned the last quarter inch (or so) and she fired up(all lights on dash came on then went off apart from the usual)
i made a 3 mile run and parked up,upon getting back in the car all was fine ,i made my 3 mile return run.
the car stood for 6 hours until i finished work it started fine again,400 yards later the "check engine" lights on...
all fluid levels are good,
full service history(due next 1200miles)
34883miles on clock.
had random "ABS fail" and "hill holder not available " and also "radiator fluid temp" for a few weeks now.
i have noticed over the bad weather period i have dropped 4-5 miles to the gallon in juice.........
At first i thought battery voltage- i check with a meter and its 12.plus at standing its way over 13.at charging but i could do with a charge.
I noticed today that the turbo has no pull , it spools up and you can hear it dump air on the accelerstor release but hardly any power from 13'000 -22'000...All this points to the EGR Valve.
today i stripped the EGR cleaned it and the pipes,then noticed the solenoid wasnt working,so i followed a thread from another site and freed up the solenoid,put it all back together and.....its no different.
garage tomorrow then.
