Hello,

So this is how it started..

Driving to work Wednesday morning, normal commute 25 mile, the Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, and a Engine Failure message, Transmission faults,  Reduced speed message, the car went into limp mode and i managed to pull over in to a buss stop

I have a Bluetooth ODBII and  the Torque app on my phone (Initial roadside diagnostics) so checked out the codes see below, saved the image, reset and car restarted

Complete the drive to work and back no issues ?

 

Anyway this morning , Thursday, driving to work, and it happened again, only this time the Message was just Reduced speed, again loads of faults that i cleared and continued on my way

Thursday evening, Tonight, the car engine stopped in the middle of the road, Engine failure, loads of lights and errors, and would not restart until cleared

 

Now i have for-scan etc to do a deeper check over the weekend, but just wanted to see if anyone on here with same car has had anything like, hoping so 

Any ideas here or help with codes would be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Reg: MV08 MYS

Engine: 1.8 TDCi Diesel

Mileage: 122000 Approx

Gearbox: Manual

 

There is a common problem with the soldering on the 32 pin (I think) connector on the instrument cluster. Plenty on internet about this and YouTube shows how to dismantle and resolder. Usually affects older mk2s but not unknown on newer ones. Also problems with the canbus connectors. This car uses computer type data signals on 2 high speed canbus wires and 2 medium speed canbus wires. Any dodgy connectors affects data flow. Eg the big plug in the engine bay fuse box and connectors close to front passengers left foot covered by plastic panels. Based on my experience.

Thanks Will definitely look here over weekend, 

Ps the error codes that say network would mean lack of data flowing over canbus I think.  On my brother’s car 2008 1.8tdci we had so much problem with it that I rewired the high speed canbus from scratch and soldering wires in place of the troublesome plugs. Hope yours does not become such a nightmare
