Dear all
hello.
perhaps someone out there can help me. i have a 04 doblo cargo with an ordinary 1910 diesel engine. three months ago when idling, ie waiting at junctions etc, i noticed the revs were going up and down slightly. this got progessively worse until the engine management light came on and it started cutting out at junctions. the management light would sometimes come on whilst driving at speed but would not effect the performance untill i slowed down and then it would cut out.
so i took the van to the garage and they diagnosed, using a read out from the computer, that i had a rotary timing fault. which translates as you need a new diesel pump. a recon pump was sourced at a cost of about £800 and the garage charged £300.00 for test and fitting. Fine you would hope?
Now three months down the line the same fault has returned. I returned it to the garage where they once again performed a diagnostic and again proudly proclaimed it must be a faulty pump!!!!! the pump was returned to the suppliers, who i must say have been very helpful, tested the pump to find no fault. and returned it without charge. so the garage now puts my van back together, tell me its working ok now, but couldnt find what was causing the fault . and charge me another £250.00 for the pleasure!!!!! i Am now begging to feel i am being a bit of a mug and ripped off.
After having the van back for three days the fault once again has returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please what could be causing this? could it be the EGR that i keep reading about on this forum or is that just on the JTD?
and what can i do about the garage charging and not finding/miss diagnosing/not repairing my van.
PLEASE I AM GOING MAD
