Hi,
Car had two new flexi's attached to the manifold yesterday, the garage basically cut the old broken ones off and 'welded' new ones on, looked like a very good job on inspection.
Car drove home fine (around 12 miles trip) and then later on way to shops, pressing gas pedal down car wouldn't accelerate at all unless I floored it, wouldn't rev. After about 10 mins of accelerating hard, car went ok'ish, still pretty lumpy. There were also some very loud banging noises what sounded from passenger side front when car wouldn't accelerate. Check emissions warning light on as well as eml now. Garage who did the job came around to my home and plugged diag machine in, after about 20 mins of messing, they cleared the codes and seemed ok again - said codes were coils 1 and 4. So this morning, car back to driving like s**t again, warning and eml back on. I replaced coil 1&4 but has done nothing.
Any ideas? Surely this is something they must have missed or done when doing the exhaust?
They coming to collect car tomorrow morning to take it in, but I just want to see your thoughts on it, could they have f****d the car up?
Any advice is much appreciated,
Steve
PS - they also say I need a new clutch as they say it was 'whistling??' something clutch bearing and it could go any minute and break the engine. I can't hear any whistling noise, how would I know if clutch is going, all seems fine to me?
