Miss Fire, Running rich....

Post by RED_ROCKET » Tue Sep 22, 2009 9:29 pm

Cars been running really bad (like a dog), miss fire on idle and guzzling like a Veyron!!!

At MRC's in the good hands of doug and the crew...

Latest update is that there were a few leaks at the back end of the engine, a few valves have been replaced.
Pressure test to be done and further investigation to be carried out, hopefully it will be ready to pick for the show on sunday...

Ill wait and see...hopefully it wont be a costly fix. :o

Picked up car from MRC yesterday and all was well....untill

Half way home the engine light is on....wait then....

A squeeling sound from the engine...

Called up Doug and said this is not good news at all, "bring it back and ill have a look"
So much for the show tommorow.

Started up the car at 7am to leave for Banbury then.....the engine now sounds like a diesel!!!! NOW WHAT!!

Got to MRC and Doug checked on Vag that left bank is 11degrees out and 12 on the right off timing,
It maybe cams are knackered, timing belt has slipped, or some other bearing which he will investigate.

Just have to wait and see on monday..

Was it parked inside or outside? Very scary to think theifs could be monitoring this forum, as they knew your car was at MRC from your earlier post!
