  with them" and they want support from me to blame the car. They never get it.

So any driving
• Kia Ceed 3 - Dual Clutch Transmission review 22 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  . There are few differences though! It creeps bit faster than TC auto. This is mentioned in handbook. I guess because it is dry clutch, the ECU needs to keep the rev bit higher to prevent stalling. In my TC auto, I often kept the car stationary in slight uphills doing nothing. The TC

  was on low side, so I replaced it with EFB096 battery (same as before), however, the dash lights still there. Took it to Nissan Dealership today, and they couldn't specify the fault. They said it could be the IPDM/ECU, and gave me a quotation of £1,900 to replace these. Current

  slightly until the engine is up to temperature. When warm the car does seem to run ok, but there is still a very slight hesitation when accelerating hard. So far I have done the following. Changed the spark plugs, read the ECU to see if there are any codes. None were found
• Ford Focus - Validity of driveway diagnosis vs dealer? 12 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  . Thing is:   EOBD code readers are just reading fault codes from the ECU and transponding them into readable format, no?  So how come Ford's meters can read more deeply that the ones that mobile mechanics use, and if Ford's diagnostic tools really are more intensive than proprietary ones
