Hi all, just wondering if any one can help me out here with some advice, I've got a 09 plate fabia estate 1.2 petrol 3 cylinder. I've started having trouble with hesitation when accelerating and potentially slight loss of power. I've changed the coil packs and plugs, air filter, oil and oil filter, fuel filter but with no avail, any advice welcome thanks guys

Compression check if you have already had a black code read.

If it's a 1.2 6V engine then it'll be burnt exhaust valves and will show compression loss across all three cylinders but one will be worse than the others.

Crasher,Sorry, as a novice, what is a black code read, cheers

Are exhaust valves a difficult and expensive to change?? Thanks

I think he means blank code read, as in no fault codes.

 

Yes, it's expensive and difficult I'm afraid.
