V power limp mode?

[UK_Ricky_UK]

Found out the other day my car has had the 98ron map. So instead of 97ron I filled up half a tank of v power. Coming home today the engine management light started flashing and no power? Closer to home it went off a all was fine?

Anything to do with Vpower being 99ron?

I've read threads on here saying its misfiring and could be the plugs...

 

[imprezaworks]

it wont be the fuel mate. If you have the 98 map why would you out 97 in?

I didn't know it has the 98map until recently... Right so if it's not the fuel it will prob be the plugs, coil pack or a lambda sensor yeh?

 

[imprezaworks]

Maybe the coil pack.

 

[RichieJA]

Knock sensor ?, I had bad fuel from tesco twice before.

 

[bloke]

injector.

 

[UK_Ricky_UK]

To change all that's gonna cost me abit ain't it?

 

[jamesycc]

intermittent misfire, could be an injector or poss bad fuel but unlikely from shell.

 

[bloke]

it's an injector, that's all.

Not really, injectors and fuel rail are usually pennies on here.

If its fine now, just keep and eye on it and see how you go?

Went on a 60 mile trek tonight... The light only came on when I got stuck in traffic and was idling... No misfire tho just a flashing light...

Injector. Had the same thing the other month. New injector cleared it.

Cheers mate, so I have to figure out which injector is shagged and then just change that one or all four?

 

[Oggy997]

I'm guessing number 3

Just replace all 4 mate with new ones. The issue will only come back again in a few weeks/months. Once one fails the rest start to follow suit.

 

[UK_Ricky_UK]

Just had the fuel rail guard off and tested by pulling one out at a time. It is number 3...

Was going to buy a second hand one for £6 tomorrow but now some are saying buy brand new?? As the rail guard will be off I may aswell replace them all with new ones hadn't I? At £42 each from euro car parts that's going to cost me £166 DAMN!

Where you based?

Really need to concentrate more. If you want me to get you a price for the injectors tomo let me know.

 

[bloke]

euro can do injectors at just over £30 with vat.

In Worthing West Sussex mate...

Says 42 inc vat when I look online?

 

[bloke]

phone them up and tell them you can get them for £30 on ebay, their online prices are comical, they use them so people think they get a good price when they use the online discount codes.

Do you get a decent discount?

 

[imprezaworks]

Kind of mate but tbh I wouldn't want to broadcast it. If you ring then they will drop their prices

 

[UK_Ricky_UK]

See look 41.99 at Euro car parts EACH!!

 

[bloke]

didn't doubt you, phone them though and you will get them a lot cheaper than that.

 

[MJRacing]

I phoned euro a few weeks ago and got one for £32.

What did you say to get them that cheap? Renparts on ebay only want 29.99... Do we get any kind of discount for being members on here from renparts?

 

[MJRacing]

Went on line and chucked a promo code in to get the discount price. £38 of the top of my head. Phoned them up and said I know others have had them cheaper and he done it for £32 with out arguing.
I did order a few other bits so might not work out so great with postage if your only ordering 1 injector.
