Cool, glad to hear it.

My 2p is on an injector but it could be number of things to be honest.

ill see your 2p and raise you a further 2p by betting it being on cylinder #2 :grin: .. although i can't see a home-visit tech whipping the cam cover off to check the resistance :undecided:

Roadside Assistance arrived just before 8.

Car has just been towed away - off to the dealers.

Technician's money is on it being the crankshaft sensor. We went for a quick drive whilst he had the laptop plugged in and we'd only got a 150 metres when it replicated the error which was good in that he was recording the data at the time.

He reckons the garage will have the car until Monday more due to workload rather than my cars specific problem.

Just waiting for the replacement to arrive now.

Hire car is an 11 plate silver Golf  :smiley:







It's a 1.2 S TSi 85ps  :cry: better than no car though so not really grumbling.  :smiley:

Haven't driven it yet but off out this PM so will see how it compares  :grin:

What a nightmare.

You seem to have been looked after okay though so far so fingers crossed it's something simple and quick to fix.
