Morning all,
First off I am sorry for the long post but really hoping someone could shed some light on my issue.
Basically I have had an issue with my car since january. It started with the EPC light illuminated with the EML also on fault codes at the time were a mixture but pointed mainly to EGR and MAP sensor. Garage replaced MAP sensor and cleaned EGR as I had a new one put on 12 months ago. Car was ok for a day then the same happened again car was also stalling at idle from cold until engine had warned up. Mechanic took another look and noticed alot of water in the engine comaprtment and sensors clogged with water gave it a good clean and dry out and was ok again for another day. Then following this the same happened again but this time car refused to start at all without flooring the gas pedal for 30 secs on start up which made the engine sound like it was about to blow haha. Anyway turns out the reason it wouldnt start was due to bad Coolant temp sensor so got that done. Also the engine appeared wet again so garage removed the engine loom overnight and dried it out completely and then fitted it all back in. This time car was perfect for 4 days no lights nothing than all of sudden when driving home from work on the 4th day the traction control light appeared on the dash but nothing else read the code and came up as 01314 then a few mionutes later the EPC and EML came back on again with fault code 17563 I am unable to delete both of these codes. Sometimes I also get code 16786 and also a 16710 knock sensor code. Both codes 16786 and 16710 can be deleted but do reappear eventually. Car starts ok but does not drive well it jerks when accelerating and also if you take your foot off the gas then put it back on again it also jerks when driving at 40/50mph it also jerks occasionally even without taking foot off the gas. When coasting or coming to a stop quickly the battery light comes on and car goes to stall sometimes it recovers itself but other times just stalls. Ive also noticed the car has been starting to smell quite strongly of petrol but I suppose this could be due to the engine getting wrong signals from somewhere. I have spent quite a bit on this car now so hoping someone has had a similar problem that can help.
Thank u
