Hi all,
This is my second post on here so go easy.
I have a 06 1.9 multi jet and have few issues with it. The car has now 107k miles on clock and have on going problems for some time with DPF filter. I have purchased a new one but yet to fit. Hopefully this solves this issue. I have never seen the DPF light illuminate however. - Would this need an oil change at the same time?
My next concern is the clutch, it does not engage well in reverse and when driving struggles to get into gears a little. - It now is making a kind of hybrid sound when accelerating and when you disengage the clutch a kind of grinding sound.
First question is any idea on what the hi pitch sound could be? Did think of perhaps the gear bearing and would I need to change the dmf at same time. - I would not do this myself so if someone could give me a link or cheapest price estimate to replace this would be helpful.
Lastly, the car has corrosion on subframe around rear right bump stop and this has now dropped.(MOT failure) - needs removing from spring but seems to be a common problem judging by cars I have seen at scrap yard.
I have spent alot out on car over past year on new brakes, new battery,
new tyres and egr valve. It has also had new spark and glow plugs.
Am now at cross roads on if to get it fixed or just sell it as feel it is becoming a money pit. need a six seater though as family of six.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
