Car Getting Worse .......

naffdave · 18th June 2011, 10:14

Hi seems that everytime do any work on the car it seems to get worse the next day. After going over to Zeb on wednesday an doing lower engine mount thought things were much better the ride at least is.
But yesterday went out in it and its lumpy as hell on tickover knocking noise from somewhere and still got a sort of fluttering slight juddering.
It almost seems to me to be like tyre out of balance but cant really place it.I also swear ive lost power an fuel comsumption has gone right down again this car driving me mad.
Ive run out of money now to try anything else
Very frustrated Owner Dave

I feel for you Dave but your not much of a salesman

Have you done a leak off rate on the injectors.

Worst, I've got a car for sale thread ever!

Sounds like a dying injector, or the rail pressure sensor to me

Went to do tyre pressures today as gotta pick mother up from London tomorrow and found all tyres low. This could be one of the problems ive been experiencing as i thought it felt like a slight wheel inbalance. The rear passenger one very low at 22psi looks like i got a slow puncture there the rest were all around 27psi . I last did them about 3 weeks ago i know your meant to check more than that (who does) but every car ive owned the tyre pressures never alter so got in the habit of only checking once a month.
