I honestly don’t care if garage are to blame aslong as they cover the cost to have it repaired.

Yeah I know hence my complaint to finance company that garage didn’t do job correctly and have possibly caused the decline

Hi. So diagnostic report has been done. Waiting for price for parts and labour and basically the exact cause but this is what has been flagged up I’ll update when I know more

I’ve had it just under a year. It had a slight vibration under seat. They checked injectors, replaced coils and spark plugs and mass air flow sensor and it was still there. They said it’s a hard diagnosis and since there was no misfire to leave it and it’s been ok til now

Hi. I didn’t mention warranty as I’d been told previously by garage it was injectors which I knew weren’t covered. Since getting the above faults and compression test we now know it’s a more serious problem so I reached out to warranty company and finance company for assistance. I’m awaiting a full diagnosis then I will take it from there. I will keep you updated on the actual fault Thanks for all advice

I’ve sent the pictures and it isn’t enough. They want a full diagnostic report with a price for parts and labour also. I’ll have a look on Google. We are struggling to get a mobile mechanic and obviously I can’t drive car and garages are fully booked

Report not repaint

So I’ve spoke to warranty people and finance and if it’s injectors I’m not covered. If it’s electrical, valves or timing I am so I have 9 days to get a diagnostic repaint and “approved” to be fixed. I’ve proved the vibration was there when bought so may have reason to return but need a diagnostic at min. It’s trying to get one in time. Everywhere I ask is booked solid!

Update. Compression test done. Cylinder 1 3 and 4 all really low! Any further ideas. Possible timing jump? Next steps?

I think we are going to get it booked in for compression test and clean the Egr valve and manifold and see what that does

Also my partner said there is a carbon build up but I’ve been quoted £400 plus to have that sorted

Yes it was like for like. It didn’t need coding as it was a plug n play removed and a plug and play put in. When we put it in it through up code saying faulty component. The part has been sent to Bosch to be tested before refund or replacement. it’s done 111000 but been looked after if that makes sense. I think it’s wear and tear more than anything.

The coil packs and spark plugs were done at garage. Partner did injector and breather pipe as he’s a mechanic but he doesn’t have access to tools for there cleaning etc

Thanks for the advice. I’ll try that. I’m willing to try anything at this point

Hi. Thanks for that. So am I right in thinking it now needs to go to a garage and have all the valves and stuff cleaning? Any idea of approximate cost of that?
