Likely the lambda sensor in front of the cat it controls fuel trim. The sensor after the cat is there to see if the cats working and doesn’t effect fueling.

£25 later Bluetooth hands free and music good to go.

It can be any number of things, If you have an obd reader you can have a look and see if any codes have been stored to narrow down what to look for.

Usually indicates a destructive misfire. If it keeps doing it or the light becomes solid you’ll need to get it fixed.

Yeah if its anything like the non-turbo d4f it's an inlet off job.

Swap the plugs around and see if the misfire follows. If it stays on cylinder 3 then you can swap the injectors round to see if that’s the issue. If it still stays on 3 then coil pack.

I imagine lots of folk know this already but figured out the other day you can fit a normal hacksaw blade to a recip saw. Real handy if you need to bend round a corner slightly to get down a tight gap.

Post a picture of the sensor as I’m not sure which one you mean. If the radiator is leaking then it needs replacing. The dashboard lights indicate a fault and are putting the car into limp mode hence the poor throttle response.

Not that many really now I’ve written it down. Apple one Netflix Copilot Get prime for free through work and Disney+ free through Lloyds.

Swapped out the cabin filter. New bosh wiper blades. Fitted a new brake pedal switch as it was flagging up on the code reader. Took it for a run down the motorway, returned 55mpg pleased with that.

Maybe, but without further investigation it’s impossible to know if that’s the cause.

Is that boot held on with a cable tie. 😂

Backfiring and lack of power indicates a misfire, this could be caused by any number of things but usually Injectors, Coil pack or spark plugs. Do you have any misfire codes? If the second sensor is the same as the 1*2 it doesn’t do anything to the fuel trim and is just there to confirm the...

Was indeed the coil pack, seems to be running fine now. Also kudos to euro car parts for installing the cables the wrong way round.
