Strange idle after radiator bleed...in the rain - x-axis - 27-08-2013
Radiator shop bled my radiator in the rain yesterday, and driving home I've noticed that the car idles weird when I slow down or park. I'm guessing that maybe water got to the plugs or something. Gonna get that checked in a bit.
Anyone got any other ideas?

did they bleed the rest of the system, the rads on 306s normally bleed themselves, its the other two bleed caps that need doing, did they do them?
was a it a rad' change for the reason for bleeding??
what car/engine?

Are you suggesting they got water in your spark plugs whilst bleeding the radiator?

I think he is suggesting due to the rain mate, lol.

I'm more wondering why they would bleed the radiator with the spark plugs out? Lol

Surely he means loom plugs, not spark plugs!

Ok. I found the problem. Turns out the connector for the oxygen sensor was in a sad state due to age, somehow the water shorted the circuitry for said sensor. I changed the connector, cleared the error, and all is now just fine. 306 Estate Ph3
