Euro5 twinair..poor running

[varesecrazy]

As mentioned elsewhere

We have a low miles 2013 panda that has had a niggle for 18+ months.. stuttering after a WARM start

It has now had issues 2 hours into a journey

This thread will serve as a documented process thread.

It will cover the imminent spark plug replacement and next engine service

(I own a 2nd 2013.. never serviced myself.. so the time has come to get acquainted )

Well.. the 1st task showed plugs that were not too clean.. and a Euro6 ECU

It has been suggested the half.warm poor fuelling could be down to the 'mk1' Euro6 map

Car did run ok 95% of the time

Has an annoying habit of putting on the Yellow Emissions light..while misfiring at @50 mph and thoroughly warm

Turn off and restart clears it.. happened again this week

Probably 4th time in 2 years..8,000 miles


Plugs made no difference..

Might swap coils.. but the odd halfwarm running is still there too..


Need to get MES on this

 

[varesecrazy]

Well.. Ive just added the FREE version of MES 4.9 (..as my licenced version 2.2 didnt cover cars beyond 2012 build )


My OLD chinese : VAG code reader didnt see ANY errors.. not even a vague misfire.. or the emissions EML

WILL experiment in the coming days

Car chugged when half.warm today.. no great shock there...

But ran a bit rough on the 20 minute drive this afternoon..

No dash errors.. but will scan with MES anyway

For this 2013- euro6

I need the FULL version of MES

Free version told me which Module version the car has.. but wont interrogate it.. so a job for another day
