Hi everyone,
Seriously need some help with this one!
My wife was out taking the kids to school and I get the phone call something is wrong with car. Whilst accelerating the engine would loose power around 1800 revs then the engine management light would illuminate. So we took to our local garage and the diagnostic tool picked up a problem with the injectors (forgot to ask for code) so they were sent off for analysis which concluded they were all naff! I was quoted a ridiculous price to replace with brand new ones so we opted for them to be reconditioned.
About 4 days later I get a call from the garage to say they had replaced the injectors but still the car is not running correctly. Next up, fuel pump (behind left wheel arch) this was also found to be faulty and was replaced with a brand new pump. Our car was with the garage for 2 weeks and I picked it up at the weekend, took it for a spin on the motorway as recommended. Whilst you could say normal 30mph driving was some what sluggish and unpleasant by the time I reached the motorway I could not even go above 50mph. Even getting close the car started to vibrate like I was doing 100mph over rubble! This times no engine management light. The car sound terrible, like its about to conk out any minute.
Mods prior to event:
EGR Bypass
On every fill up I add 2 stroke & Millers as recommended on this forum
Repairs just carried out
4 recon injectors
1 new fuel pump
Since getting it home I have replace the air filter, was going to replace the PCV valve but the guy in the garage has given me the incorrect part!
Also, I want to change the MAF sensor as I recall reading on Rover Rons site the diagnostic tool doesnt always pick up a faulty MAF. Therefore the Pierburgh was recommended, however it states this should not be installed without a synergy 2 unit?
In Summary:
The garage bill was £1200 and has hurt like hell! Apart from the MAF & PCV can anyone suggest anything else, this is our only family car which we saved long and hard for \and just seems a great shame it taken a turn for the worst.
Thanks again for any help!
