Ha, don't tempt fate!
Was talking to the gardener yesterday, he was saying how 2 of his friends have 1.6 TDCi Fiestas (newer ones I think) and both of them are unreliable, spending more time in limp mode and at the dealer than not. He went on to say hope the 1.6 diesel in his Peugeot was better...wasn't overly pleased when I told him it was the same engine.
Anyway, thought it'd fixed itself this morning...but 3 minutes later engine lights and limp again.
So bought a glow plug socket. And new plugs are in! Yay... Couldn't find the EGR blank at all so that's had to stay out unfortunately.
So far idling and a run round the car park at high revs/high load hasn't brought the fault back. Plugs aren't constantly on which is a good sign. Taking it for a run to town shortly (trying to catch up what I missed yesterday!) so that'll be the proof...
How do you test plugs with a multimeter btw? Tried putting them across the battery but none glowed (glew!?
) at all, they cant be that bad so guess temp connections were poor.
