I made another thread and got some answers but i want to start again now and simplify things.
I let my car run too low on petrol (im pretty sure this is where the problems have come from).
The car missfires in revese and sometimes in 1st, And is hesitant when putting my foot to the floor...
^Mine is hesistating when reversing, in 1st. And driving in higher gears with the foot down.
I think its either fuel filter, spark plugs or injectors.
Is the fuel filter inside the petrol tank anyone? Mine isnt outside next to the tank like on some models. And i cant find it in the haynes...
Does anyone know if the fuel filter is inside the tank on a 1.2 ?
Its got better today, But its still doing it. Air filter is new so thats not the problem i dont think.
The gear leaver will move slightly and feel like a lost of power for a few blips.
I think thats what it is, If i chose 4th whilst doing 30mph and put my foot to the floor to build up speed it will jerk a bit and i think its under fueling..
That or something else, I dont know but its anoying!
Well i took it to a garage and they said fill it to the brim with petrol and drive it well, Filled it to the brim with petrol and drove it around for about an hour and a half, Feels a lot better. Still abit hesistant in lower gears.
I said what about petrol treatments just to see what he said...
Im gonna go and have a look at the car in a min, Is there any guides for checking the coilpacks anyone?
I dont have a sparkplug tool, But ive got a socket set, Will they do?
Looks a good ride height, Dont like the alloys though, Some grey turnis would look great.
How do you get in your car with no handle? other side or the boot ha?
The gear stick is moving a fair bit.. But i think it would be coincidence that the gearbox mount went the same time ive let it run too low on petrol, Could be though i suppose.
Yeah they do that s**t rope light stuff that you normally get for the front of your house at xmas but for your car that can be retro fitted
And i think ive seen a company doing Audi style lights for different cars with inbuilt led strips like there are lexus style lights.
IMO its like...
Thats what i think now, The lamaba senor wouldnt start failing because of low petrol would it? that would have to be a coincidence that it went at the same time?
What would case the toxic fumes light to come on?
Cheers for the response, Ive driven to the gym today, It feels a lot better. still juttering if i put my foot down, Could it be one of the injectors? letting it run so low on petrol meaning its dragged some dirt in and blocked one?
On idle it sounds like something isnt working, Cant really...
Just dropped my dad off round the corner and on the way back it started juttering at low revs and when trying to accelerate. Not harsh but noticable and juttering everywhere.
The car was on the petrol light, I thought it was only since ive got back from the gym but apparently my mums taken it...
