Hi all,
In the recent last 6 weeks I've noticed/felt a hesitation/miss fire on the van when driving, its done it 13 times now it almost feels like the timing is out somehow. Now I'm no mechanic so I'm probably wrong but the engine seems to miss a beet is the only other way I could describe it.
Coming home tonight it did it going up a hill, mainly its always on the flat and when decelerating/accelerating, has anyone else experienced this or does anybody have any ideas what it could be.
After it did it this evening a gave it a bit of a caning through the gears thinking it maybe be a blockage or some other crap in the system but I still felt it again later on.
Also the fuel consumption is shocking in my opinion for a modern engine (155ps) 24.4 mpg, my old Mk7 (130ps) was running at 27 mpg with the same amount of weight on board.
I need to get the van into the dealership to get the dashboard sorted that squeaks and groans like a nuns crutch even when stationary, but Ford don't do warranty work on a Saturday and I can't spare the van during the week so this one will be added to the list.
Thanks for any ideas on this as it may help when trying to describe to the dealership.
