Hello everyone

as you have noticed i haven't been on here i went down the coast to yarmouth for tyhe weekend !Removed! good weekend shame i had to come home but anyways

Friday i finally bit the bullet stalling still keeps happening car still squeeks time to take it to ford to have the pcm re programmed as i think its that but they said they would find the fault as they have a specialist at there ford centre basically a RTE (Renault technicla expert) just a ford one but its where i buy my parts from so they do now who i am

one big !Removed! problem


£75+VAT TO DIAGNOSE FOR THE HOUR

But to be quite honest i have tried everything to get rid of this stalling and im now going round in circles lol


booked in for 10th october so i will let you all now how it goes

That is expensive but like you said if it finally sorts the problem out it'll be worth it!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
YYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the stalling has gone yay the aqueek they couldnt find but you now how hard it is the bloke said how i described it sounded like the water pump cost around £200 to replace but not to be too hasty


the pcm did need reprogramming he said its quite rare they get them problems in about 2 every year if that so i was right somewhere about it beng the pcm READ IT IN A TECHNICAL NOTE

they also said my car was in very good condition and looked well after i said to him i put a lot of time and money into that car thats why like


anyways got charged £44.60 something top price really considering its helped the stalling well stopped it all together i have had the cam reset and the latest calibration file put in my pcm



Thanks alll


We should make this a sticky
