Russats Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I've got a very slight hesitation developing. It doesn't do it constantly, I've only noticed it while cruising and not while pulling. I had a Zaire with a similar issue and that turned out to be the MAF sensor,would this be a possible cause? Quote
BrianH Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 the injector wiring on the diesel engines is reported to be problematic causing spluttering/misfire like symptoms. Any error codes being logged? Quote
Russats Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 I've not got a cable and haven't had it plugged in. Appears to be worse when cold. Once hot it's not there. Quote
Russats Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 It's now got worse. I drove home from work and it's juddering heavily when pulling Quote
Russats Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 Turned it off and back on. Then it runs fine. Quote
BrianH Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Doubt its the maf then, if anything that causes a lack of power and won't clear by just switch off and back on, You SHOULD be able to unplug the maf and see an improvement if its at fault. Although thats rarely seemed to make any difference to me. It sounds more like the injector wiring issue to me. If you can update the topic title you might get the attention of someone whos knows the diesel varients better than me. Though i'd have a look at the wiring as i gather from what others have said it starts to fall apart (hence causing the fault). Theres definitely a few posts here about it. If you can get hold of a laptop even briefly to have a look a cable doesn't cost much and may give you a bit more to go on. Quote
Russats Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Posted February 10, 2015 Does anyone have a VagCom near me? North London or Hertfordshire please? Quote
sasquartch Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 I have the free vcds-lite with cable - if that's any good I'd willingly read the codes for you I'm near Potters Bar, Herts Quote
Russats Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Posted February 10, 2015 Oh great. Are you around tomorrow at all, do you charge? I've read other threads and I think it's the injector loom. Quote
