Title: Sisters Zafira running shite
Post by: tigers_gonads on 23 January 2014, 11:31:40
As above

1.7 dti on a 60 plate with 30,000 miles on the clock (ex mobility car)

Starts first time okay
Idles okay.
Increase the revs and it misses like a ba***rd until it reaches 2000 rpm then everything dandy.
This is intermittent.  Some days it runs great, others its cr*p
I have checked the bleed off pipes and the injectors for leaks but everything seems okay.
No codes or warning lights whatsoever.

If it was a petrol, i'd be pulling the plugs / leads / coilpack apart but it being a diesel  :-\ :-\

Are the injectors plug and play so to speak or do they need programing ?

I'm thinking along the lines of crap in / sticky injector  :-\
Anybody else think the same ?

I've told the brother in law to run some injector cleaner threw it in the meantime  :y

Give it an Italian tune up (2nd gear and red line it briefly) the DPF will be needing a good clean out.
Short runs kill diesels you need to get the cat/dpf hot to clean them out.
