This is make it or break it time for me. When I finally think I have it running sweet ANOTHER thing crops up. Just had an interesting drive home that's baffled me...
When started I noticed the idle speed a little higher than the norm. Soon after setting off the battery light came on and engine felt... lazy. I then noticed my power steering would not work at low speed and my wipers took a good while to complete one wipe. Within the next few miles I had warnings for ESP, ABS, Air bag failure, hill holder, power steering and a message telling me to check my manual. Toward the end of my 12 mile journey home I lost my power steering completely at 50/60mph and headlights dimmed, rear brake lights and indicators either not working or extremely dull.
This didn't all happen at once, each thing popped up after every mile or so resulting in a complete failure of almost everything except the engine itself. Never experienced it before. Pretty damn dangerous to be fair
I've not got my ecu reader to hand until the weekend but I did manage to get a new battery which I've now fitted. I left it disconnected for 30 mins but I still have an airbag failure warning message. everything else seems ok but I haven't had a chance to take it for a drive.
I love it to bits but its really becoming a Fix It Again Tomorrow kinda car
Any thoughts and previous experiences would be GREATLY appreciated! Don't want my next post to be a link to the classifieds
