Hi all thought id update on my saga!

 

i had previously cleared the codes with no joy ,but now remember seeing a measuring block reading of about 1500c ,which seemd a bit high to me !

When i strippped it and found i had he plug with wires on there was a bare bit where the insulation was missing (earthing out?),so taped it up and stuck it all back together ,cleared codes agian and its been working since at outside temps of 13c and below. Im prepared to accept that maybe a temp sensor is wrong so will live with that

 

Its only been getting short runs but today went further ,running ariund for about 45 mins .Coming back over the dartford bridge heard a "pop" from the rear n/s, thought it was a coke bottle expanding to be honest ! ,next thing i know cars full of smoke ,its coming up thru the seatbelt in the n/s door pillar .Time to panic ! Checked and no fire got home plugged it in agian and forget to write down the codes ,one was flameout and the other i think was something about a blower, cleared them sat there with the car idling watching the meas blocks go up then down as temp of around 74c was reached

 

do you gurus think I should be ok the leave it connected or just unplug it and freeze,obviously dont want a burnt out car

 

 

ps wheres Miraz lately??

Hi Dave

Think you need to remove and check combustion fan is running free and not seized, sounds like the fan had stopped while running
