Jinxed!


Recommended Posts

After sailing through the MOT on Monday, recommending a Rapid to a friend last night, my Octavia let me down this morning!

 

Pulled out of my drive, into second gear, into third, then suddenly it started (what felt like) misfiring, i pulled over and tried the turn it off and on again (what working in IT does for you) it was just the same, a very lumpy idle with a reluctance to rev, i turned around and limped it home back onto the drive. It has now been deposited at a local garage for the verdict.

 

I'm thinking it could be the DMF - it does have 135K on it but other thoughts would be welcome!

 

thanks chaps

What engine? I would have thought a light had come on too

looks as though it is the injector wiring loom and possibly an injector that has gone (at least it is not the DMF!) just had a look at the cost of the injectors though! how much!!
