Well she has finally lets us down, and some many miles from home, but eventually started and behaved all the way home.
v reg phase 3 2l hdi estate
As far as I can remember this is the sequence of events since say 2 weeks before xmas
Last 2 - 3 weeks the locking system has been different, when leaving car and pressing the lock button on the 2 button fob, the car have locked, and after a short delay of say half second, the dead locks operate and the inds flash. Unlocking seems normal.
Jump in and start, a non starter, as it usually starts after 4 to 5 compressions what ever the weather/temp.
lock and unlock the car open and close the drivers door and if your lucky she starts, all good.
This time the car was locked then immediately unlocked itself. All doors where closed properly.
Morning Air temp down to below 3 c as temp gauge is flashing, start, non starter. Lock and unlock and still the same.
Leave to warm up a bit, repeat, still same non starter.
Leave till noon, still the same.
At 3 o clock after the film on telly, temp up to about 10 c from memory, unlock, jump in and starts straight away !!
Stuff inside the car seems a bit damp ( but not in summer ) so ran for a while to charge the battery and air the car.
Emptied the car of a damp overall, stated after repeat performance with lock unlock open and close drivers door and she finally starts, so ran for a bit to charge battery and turned off and locked.
Came back to car early evening and non starter again ( it had rained ) so plugged in pp2000.
Bsi faults, one being ecu unlock signal intermittent, and one being key not recognised intermittent.
There where some eng ecu faults also, a different list to last time, but cleared all faults and she started straight away.
Not tried to start today yet as its pouring down here.
Will be checking drivers door loom as that has had a problem in the past, and need to check diagram as to dead lock unlock feedback signal ?? may be a mech problem with that ??
Will also be checking bsi connections under centre plastics, connection under kick panel by heater, and rear tail gate locks as seem to remember that can be a problem due to water.
Problems seems to be water related when it rains ??
Any other ideas please?
