  1. I will try to check, 3 out of 4 Cyl as I cant be bother of removing alt to get in to the 1st plug. Sorry but I'm going away in few days for holiday. 

     

    And I recommend to use some diagnostic equipment to read faulty codes from ECU that will help us to focus on the right stuff. 

     

    It could be anything. 

     

    - bad fuel 

    - bad injector

    - low pressure (normally wont start or will cut off)

    - MAF Sensor need replacing (try to borrow one just to test it)

    - bad timing? If cam-belt was done and timing not set right will have to check that. 

     

     

    Keep in touch 

  2. Hi Soupstone,

                             thanks for your reply, i checked that before fitting the new housing, this is really getting to me now,  never had so much grief with a car, Chrysler agents are pretty poo when it comes to diagnosis of problem, and want loads of money 

     

    If you changed and tested everythnig? 

    - Injectors Test. 

    - High Pressure Valve

    - MAP Sensor (In inlet) 

    - Fuel Filter 

    - Turbo Actuator

    - Cleaned EGR and Inlet

     

     

    Try to swap or at least clean Mass Air Flow Meter, if you know someone near who owns same car. 

     

    Don't Give up!

     

    If you will need a help pop in to Peterborough. 

  3. Hi all, hope someone can help. I’ve had the car for nearly 10 years now (it’s a 2008 GV). I had an issue for a while which consisted of the car only going into first gear when put in drive and staying in first, I’d realise after driving for a while, stop, put into neutral, engine off, start again and it would normally be ok. Also, whilst this was happening if I tried to operate the manual gear change it wouldn’t show any gear at all on the display and stay in first. The engine warning light was on for about a year because of this. Eventually I reset the TIPM and the engine warning light went off and this issue seemed to stop. The reason I reset the TIPM was in the hope that it would enable me to unlock my drivers door which now refuses to open. The button pops up with the fob and with the inside handle but the second stage of the lock does not open and I can’t get in the driver’s door. This morning I went out, opened the sliding doors fine, stowed the seats, then tried to start the car and everything is completely dead, lights, doors everything (doors worked fine seconds before) the little clock on the dash is still going. I had a new battery 4 years ago. Any ideas on how to get the driver’s door open and what this other issue could be, can a battery fail like that? I’m used to seeing a few symptoms first and having paid over 300 quid for this one 4 years ago, would expect it to last a little longer than this. The door issue is separate but still needs sorting. I’m currently resetting the TIPM again and charging the battery but I doubt this will sort the door.

    Any thoughts?

    Did you fix the door problem? 

  4. Hi Did you managed to fix this? 

     

    I recently had similar issue but with rear sliding door (covered in MK5 section) 

    Doors locked every time with no problems only when it came to unlocking the actuators on both sides stuck. 

     

    The problem was corded  ground wire under behind front seat under the carpet. 

    I disconnected it clean it with a brush and so far Ok.
