D8 2.0 petrol non idle/cutting out, wisdom needed

[lozz]

Its not used any water that I can see, Ive only driven in 20 miles and in that time its used no water, temp steady between 70-75 and no white smoke, oil is clean, heaters are hot, little bit of pressure when you open the expansion tank cap, nothing to worry about

I'm totally stumped, to the point where i'm annoyed at myself for not being able to find the fault

ihad the same problem with another pug mate,
thats why iwas askin about the water,

the pug ihad problems with ichanged everything icouid,
then to find the problem was it was "spitting" a fine leak in the headgasket .

might not be that on yours tho

maybe best if you got a code reader on it to see if it is electrical,

Its booked in on Tuesday so hopefully fingers crossed it comes back something simple

Cheers for the help mate, Will let you know what happens

Clunk-click

... a policeman will come and fasten your seatbelt?

[Roylewaa]

they'le be no running around the street naked chaps, problem is still not fixed

spend today Changing fuel filter then completley removed throttle body and cleaned it all thorougally with carb cleaner, and still no better

Getting really close to removing the 7 seat conversion and scrapping it tbh Really would be a shame as the bodywork is really clean

Anyhow will know more in the morning as its in the garage getting plugged in to see what faults come up

Would a dodgy throttle position senser or failing coil pack/crank senser cause it to do this??

Hi Chaps

Just spoken to the garage who have had the car since Saturday, They think it's the MAP sensor

Had a quick look on ebay and they seem to be going for around £40

Hi Chaps

Just spoken to the garage who have had the car since Saturday, They think it's the MAP sensor, although the car would'nt communicate with the diagnostic equipment they've had to borrow another one for a definitive answer

Heres hoping, I can live with a faulty MAP

Had a quick look on ebay and they seem to be going for around £40

[Roylewaa]

Well chaps, just got the car back, all repaired and purring like a kitten, was defo the MAP, It threw up the fault straight away

I'm chuffed, and in a way not as I only instructed the garage to diagnose the problem and agreed to pay for just that (£35) in the end it cost me £95 including a new MAP (although the garage is next door to my local scrapyard so I wonder if its from a scrapper) as they'd repaired it then rang me

cheers for all your advise, mucho appreciated

[lozz]

excellent news mate.
bet your well chuffed

[Roylewaa]

I am well chuffed mate, only downside was in my fault finding mission ive goosed the cat, luckily I have another one here to go on

Turns out the baffles were rattling in the centre box, not the cat, so I drove a bloody big screwdriver through the cat for nowt

Do'h, you live and learn I suppose
