hi all,
read all the posts about ignition coil packs
now...
on and off about a month ago id be bombing down the dual carriage way or something and it would make a ''farting noise for a few seconds'' like a motorbike ... i thought nothing of it really and just carried on as it seemed to be running fine and had just had it serviced...
then.....
all of a sudden on the way down to newark... brrrrrrr......
thats it.. engine management light on and lack of power...
i thought '' great.. ignition coil pack ..again'' so managed to getto newark and the folowing morning the clio was alive again... except whenever i got to 4,000 rpm (1.2 16v) then it started again... so to play it safe i was changing gear early all the time so it wouldnt go into that stupid mood !
the engine management light flickered on now and again...
so i take it to a local garage back in hull where i live and low and behold they replace the coil pack... 130 smackers inc ECU dignostic...ouch
2 days later.... the same thing ! argh!!!!
so i take it to my normal garage where i go and they replace the plugs and i needed a driveshaft and bearing while i was there (lowewed car)
great.. smashing jobs a good un' or so i thought....
3 days after that and im going to brighton - )to see fatboy slim on new years day) and i get to donny and brrrrrrrrrrrr... doing it all over again !!!
what the hell is wrong with my clio ?
im loosing faith... shes done 68k, 1.2 16v dynamique thingy... modified but i just cant believe my luck and its costsing me a fair wack now... but are all garages like this and clueless ! somebody help !!!!
