naughty Arsewash 3000

If change the oil and see if it happens again
Not sure ids can fix a rattly engine tbh but you should give it a mechanical once over, maybe check the prv, check the egr if possible.
Injector clamps (although it usually gets noisy under load)

[whitemice]

the little sh*t has started running sh*t when its first started
it misses knocks and bangs like an old di for about a mile but goes ok if reved over 2k
is it furkred?
I bunged a new fuel filter on it to no avail what to try next spesh brew?

You need to pray for salvation my son or come to your senses and trade it in for a MK2 with a proper v6 petrol engine whilst there is still time.
Beware the ides of timing chains under pressure and tension.
Turning to drink is the work of Ford and the devil and for your penance get on your knees and do three hairy Marys, well one anyway.
'tis principalities we fight my son.

its more of a diesel knock really and juddering about like its got no fuel

[whitemice]

Are you a two stroke believer man?

[loot]

Cmon bjt your an engineering type you need to fashion some kind of prv replacement device and bypass the scv with a manual button

Bloody filter head could do with some silicone put on its seals too

[bigjohnthomas]

I have my suspicions about the filter head
the indicator is was and always been before the green never moves
the green vans was red till I changed it yesterday and now that's in the green

[bigjohnthomas]

well same again this morning
started up normal
went for a piss
came back and set off and its juddering and missing
all the way to the village pub about a mile away then its normal again
stopped at first arse for an hour and its been normal ever since
could I be looking at a slow air ingression problem overnight
like that bloody filter head?

[loot]

Nah, i think you'd experience hard starting and problems all day if it was letting air in, but if not apart from over a long time i think it would just be ashit to start but then once started it would be fine.

I'm thinking more like stuck egr(not meant to open when cold) but it should give maf codes if it was stuck
Possibly injector problems (also expected all the time )
Could also be shitty crank sensor.
Shitty fuel.
Check your turbo rod is movable.
I think ids is your friend if you have no warning lights despite me saying it might not be needed.

[bigjohnthomas]

and when you rev it over 2k its ok
so that's the fuel thing bolloked then
egr then ? I will twat it with the hammer later
if I can find it

[walt1984]

Is it doing the scratching noise when u switch off?

[bigjohnthomas]

not very loud but it dose it
found someone with a code reader
but they are on holiday
however I can go round get it out and try it

what the furke do you do ?
just plug it in n sh*t ?
ask it what's wrong ???

[bigjohnthomas]

piece of sh*t thing wont do nought
connection error

so perhaps i start with a new egr valve then

[loot]

I can only see a faulty egr giving your problems if it sticks open so imo I'd go the cheaper route and blank it first, you can make a blank out of a coke can to try if you want, just cut it the shape you want and stick it in there
Isn't a long term solution tho.

[bigjohnthomas]

well then .. what about a scv and a pcv and an egr off egay for 150£ and one of those pump learn things from the shop
will that fix it dad?

[loot]

No idea son.

None of the above have caused my van to run like a bag of spanners for 1 mile, only slight hesitance and slightly chattery but otherwise ok.

I think you should try the cheap stuff to diagnose it tbh else it'll end up costing you 14 pekinese, 3 German Shepherds, 9 chihuauas, and a cat
+ the dreaded bum squeeze

Any cheap reader should connect to your van

Did you turn the ignition lights on when you plugged the reader in?
