scullier Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi All have had a "engine systems fault" light come on and car go into limp mode intermittently , usually when accelerating hard or when pulling off at lights .. it gradually happened more often and I noticed it got sightly sluggish and cut out a few times. Brought it to my mechanic and he hooked up the diagnostic computer and it was "low fuel pressure" . He replaced the fuel pressure sensor and it seemed to work. The car is driving a lot better. Two days later the same "engine systems fault" light came on again. Mechanic said on the phone that it might need a new fuel pump which will cost me a lot between parts and labour. Are we on the right track here or is there something else it could be before I Shell out a load of cash. Have spent 200 euro already.

jeebowhite Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 agree with Adam, I would suggest starting with the fuel filter as the most likely quick and cheap fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simcor Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Well just to be different I don't agree!! Actually I do agree but don't like saying so lol Check the cheaper things out first and the filter is a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
