Hello been reading through forums all morning - closest symptons to mine, was the above topic..u seem switched rite on with these little beauties.... ;) so am begging your expert advice....
I purchased a silver fronty 2.2 dti rs 3dr x reg 2000 yesterday - cracking condition - never seen engine so clean, all original paintwork, fsh, been loved - finally after looking for a nice one for months, it has a fault which i was told - and managed to haggle to a more than decent final price, so have the cash to put rite... thinking worse case synaro.. is it fuel pump???
Symptons so far....
after 25 miles sudden loss of power at 3000rpm - driving approx 60-70pmh , sort of kick back, ease off throttle then ok for couple of yards, but kick back ,jerk loss of power engine management light on then off (someone quoted limp mode)then i pulled in, it ticked over ok for sort time, tried pullin off - cut out.
Tried leavin it for while to try again, but no good had to be towed home 250miles - (not good) left it over night, tried it this morning got to shop and back no prblem at all.
Can you please advise the best course of action. or better the exact problem lol (feeling positive) ;)
Thank you for your time
