Hi all,
Appreciate this vague but perhaps someone has had experience with an issue. The car is a 2010 T-jet 120 with just shy of 90k miles on it. I bought it last November and have put maybe 500 miles on it myself. It's not my daily, just a car I bought if a second one was needed.
Today it's been running fine, parked it in a car park. Came back to it after being sat for an hour and it started fine. As I gave it gas to pull away it suddenly changed from normal running to sounding like a diesel on it's last legs. Check engine light came on straight away.
I managed to get it home, albeit it was basically incapable of getting past 15-20 mile/2k RPM and sounding very sickly. I also noticed the temperature gauge was very high within a minute or so. I've checked and nothing is leaking.
Any ideas before I get it into a garage?
