Hi, its the rear bush which is virtually bolt on apparently, i have two coming.

Yes I can buy just the bushes and its an easy bolt-on job - according to AI

Hi, can I buy just the bushes for the rear of the suspension arms and are they easy to fit please? Or is it better to fit complete arms at 85,000mls?

We went for a test drive with Diags running, all timing parameters were good. Cylinder 4 is cutting out occasionally under load. I will fit new plugs and see if its fixed. Bizarre coincidence it started immediately after fitting timing chain kit. Thanks to all who contributed.

will do, thanks

AI is now saying it sounds like an ECU cut because it senses something is amiss.

So you'd expect these symptoms with timing out?

That's AI for you re VVT. So timing out is your guess? If so, it's an interference engine so might suffer damage. Seems to run OK at higher revs, maybe a bit down on power. 2014 Devizes

Total bill was £730.

Hi Under firm acceleration from lowish revs (1500 – 2500 ish) the car stumbles momentarily a few times. A bit like a 2 stroke "nipping up". It's more than a simple misfire as the car jolts each time. It did this on the drive home from the garage on a Hill and continues to do it. No engine light. Garage has suggested running their diagnostics but of course it won't be under load. Will this even show up on diags. AI seems to think its something wrong during fitting of the VVT or oil tube . Part fitted was ULPTK164AF priced at £164 on ebay which the garage charged at £268. This is a full kit with sprockets and oil pump chain. Your advice please.

indeed🙃

yes, its roughly 2% diesel. AI agrees with you - harmless. The main worry is lubrication of the pump but at 2% not an issue. No or a beneficial effect on DPF - apparently.

I have an almost all diesel mixture from my petrol Fabia and was thinking of adding it gradually to my 2014 Diesel Honda CRV 1 gal to 1 tank. Will it be detrimental to the DPF or anything else?

I'll let you know when I get the car back from the garage, but it seems not.

We also have a diesel car hence the momentary lapse. Normally we would not be able to put the diesel nozzle in the petrol neck. Yes I thought of stickers but wanted a fool proof solution.

According to AI, some petrol cars left the factory with the wrong ie Diesel filler neck. This was proven when I put diesel in my 2014 Fabia. It drove normally for 5 miles then stuttered to a stop, restarted and pinked another mile then engine light came on, stopped and wouldn't restart. Is there an aftermarket restrictor or DIY work-around so I don't have to buy and fit a complete filler neck?

That's very kind of you Pete. I think the tensioner failed and it jumped a tooth because of the way it juddered to a halt. Tensioner failure is a known issue on these and its approaching 90,000mls. I've asked my garage for a quote then I'll make a decision. The check light prob came on because the ECU noticed a mismatch.

My cheap ODB reader says no codes??? Based Wiltshire.

CBZBE FROM V5 so it is cam chain engine

Motecarlo, 1.2TSI 105hp 2014. I understand there are 2 engine types in this model year. How do I identify mine? Are they both belt engines? Car is not being driven.

Hi, My tensioner failed at low revs and speed, the car juddered and stalled. It restarted and I drove home about a mile steadily. It seemed to drive normally if a little noisy. Next day it would start but not run. The check engine light was on. Pretty sure the Timing jumped a tooth. Q. do the valves always hit the pistons? do the valves always bend? Might I get away with an new tensioner and re-time? TIA
