Hello Friends,
We are decorating the back bedroom, I was just getting ready to drop the little one off at grandma's before a trip to Wickes. Go to the garage to get the car out, put the key in the ignition and......arut aurt aurut.........no broooommmm! WTF stilo? what happened to you?
So I'm now searching the forums for advice and knowledge, there's certainly no shortage of it here
So far I have
- checked and changed the plugs
- coils seem ok on inspection, no burnt or smelly coils
- Checked the battery (went to charge it and the status reading went straight to ok/charged, although not sure that can be relied upon)
- FES gave a reading of 11.8v when checking the battery.
- Fuel is reaching the plugs so I have ruled out the fuel system
- ran all the actuator tests in FES, the RPM counter throws up alternator fault when run, with ASR and loose connection errors. Dont know if this is a true error, I assume so.
- Tried a different key (both remote fobs)
- had the battery out for a couple of hours
My next steps are to
- check the fuse box and engine earths and make new ones.
- Bagder my mate for him to return my multimeter, can't really progress without this!
Are there any other things that I can quickly rule out?
I'll shorlty upload a video of the noises and warnings.
Thanks all
