Dying TD4...
V8MoneyPit:
Our TD4 has the automatic steptronic transmission. I'm not a great fan of autos at the best of times, but Sarah liked the car so who am I to argue :D
Towards the end of last week it developed a problem. At about 2400 rpm it would start raising and lowering the revs by about 400 rpm. I'm not sure if it was changing up and down gears or just raising and lowering engine revs.
Then, Monday night the traction control and hill desent lights came on when Sarah was on her way home. At the same time the lights on the gear selector went out! Then it wouldn't get above about 45mph and was very reluctant to pull away from a standstill :shock: Also, the reversing lights have now failed!
Too many black boxes under the bonnet for me, so it's in the garage today for them to plug it in and see what's up. We shall see......
Oh, and I am resisiting the temptation of "I told you so!" :lol:
V8MoneyPit:
Call from garage...
Blown fuse!! That's all it seems it was :shock: It took the diagnostics system to identify it and reset the fault codes. Whatever happened to simple cars?? :?
If something goes wrong with the 110 I use a big hammer.... if that doesn't fix it I use a bigger hammer... :lol:
thermidorthelobster:
Well, that's a relief. You could always use your big hammer to jump across the terminals of the fuse.
V8MoneyPit:
The garage boss told me it was only a fuse...... apart from the replacement gearbox!!! What a shining wit he is :lol: Good job he's a good customer!
fudge:
I am always really careful abou being witty with customers.....
I once phoned a very good customer to let him know his van had arrived from the factory...." looks fantastic, The green really makes it look nice" I said...... "yeah, thought it'd look good in green...." he said..... :shock: :? :shock: "ha haha ha" I said..... "whats funny" came the reply
anyway... he called my bluff and won, I needed new underware!
