Hi,
I have just become the proud owner of a metalic green 2003 JTD Multipla with bright orange wheels which my five-year-old says I have to keep. On the way home the EML came on and it seemed to be running quite hot (4 bars on the dash + roasting heater. Radiator cold).
Cleaned out the EGR valve + bled radiator to no avail so decided to change the turbo boost solenoid valve on the basis this solved an identical fault described in another forumand I happened to have one to hand. Now the EML doesn't come on...
..but, the car still warms up very fast to 4 bars and perormance is slightly reduced when hot. Radiator still feels cold, fan does not kick in. It has had a new thermostat fitted by previous owner who said he had it done as the heating was poor.
Is this normal? I bought an ELM cable and tried to connect to the car's CPU but it says there is no response. I have no experience with these so perhaps I am not using the right software/ settings.:bang:
Could the rad be blocked/ the new thermostat be faulty or is this normal for a multipla?
Thanks in advance.
