Multijet 1.3 panda issues.
Im having some issues with my panda and was wondering if anyone can help.
The car started juddering and was hesitant about 8-10 months. Considerably worse at low revs. Most prominent at 1200/1500/1800rpm.
Above 2000rpm it ran fine and pulled well.
I changed the EGR valve for a new one 3/4 months ago. No difference. I looked at all the correction values on the injectors with Delphi. Cylinder 1 appearing to be the worst.
Can any body explain these injector values?
@ idle
C1 - 1.41mm3
C2 - 0.34mm3
C3 - minus 0.67mm3
C4 - 0.44mm3
@2000rpm
C1 - 2.8mm3
C2 - 0.00mm3
C3 - 0.00mm3
C4 - 0.00mm3
Rough, juddery, hesitant, mis- firing between 1000 and 2000rpm.
Fine above 2000rpm
****UPDATE****
Just put the laptop on it again, and cylinder no1 now has the injector from cylinder 2 in it.
The readings now are as follows.
@IDLE
C1 1.44mm2
C2 -0.18mm2
C3 -0.70mm2
C4 0.37mm2
@2000rpm
C1 2.9mm2
C2 0.0
C3 0.0
C4 0.0
As i have now had 3 different injectors in cylinder 1 all with very similar readings at idle and 2000rpm, does this point to a cracked cylinder, piston ring etc.
I gave up after swapping the injectors with the above fault and lived with the “mis-firing” and reduced mpgs.
But now i have noticed in the last few weeks its getting more and more sluggish the lower the revs.
Upon starting the car on Monday morning, it was absolutely as sick as pig, no power, wont rev. Dangerously slow.
No warning or dash lights. Just absolutely gutless.
Slightly better when warmer. However it will rev freely and is boosting above 3000rpm.
Ive had about a royal c**tfull of it now, so any suggestions on what to try next before i concede defeat and book it into a garage for diagnosing.
Thanks everyone in advance
