Hi guys,
I hope some one can help me solve this problem. My Y Reg 306 estate has been a great car (it still is) if I can sort it out.
I don't want to scrap it, there is no rust most things work except a silly problem with central locking.
The problem now is the engine started blowing out a lot of white smoke and running very rough. The rev counter dropped to zero and the engine warning light came on.
I took the car to my local garage who did lots of tests. They have managed to get the engine running by adjusting the timing on the fuel pump (more advanced) The engine warning light is still on and no Rev counter. The garage thinks there is a problem with the ECU. Some sensors have been checked and seem to be working OK ,crank sensor etc. plus wiring up to the ECU.
I have not used the car for a while, This morning I had to move it from in front of my garage. The Rev counter was working and no engine light. This lasted about 45 seconds and the Rev counter dropped to zero and engine light came back on.
I would like to fix this problem the car is to good to scrap or sell for peanuts. The engine is the XUD type none turbo 1.9 its done about 100k miles
Any help would be really be appreciated.
Regards
Paul
