I just thought you may all want to know that it seems my car is fixed!
After spending the last month in and out of SEAT and the local garage who couldnt work out what was wrong, trying coilpacks, MAFs, plugs, acuator etc
Your not going to believe it! Wait...drum roll...
It was a split vacuum hose! This was found last night by Ian last night as we were all going to convoy down to No Rice
It was one of the vacuum hoses that sits by the N75 Valve in the 'V' shape, now what i dont understand is, SEAT said they would replace all the hoses around that valve as they were REALLY tatty and they only ended up replacing one of them, yet failed to see this hole in it! Granted you needed to look for the hole but its still there and here are the pictures to prove it
Im shocked
I just cannot believe for all this time it has been missed and for something SO small, to cause SO many problems
It went like a steam train last night and seems back to its old self (a couple of blips) but i think thats because the fault codes will still be on the ECU so its still thinking there is something wrong
I will see if i can ge them cleared, reset the ECU, take it for a drive and see if they have gone
For now, i believe it to have been fixed!
Shall i do a speech?
No seriously, thank you all SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for all your help! Its more appreciated than you know and thank you Ian for spotting what the 'Master Technician' at SEAT couldnt even spot
WAYHEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY she is back
