asimons Posted July 23, 2003 Report Posted July 23, 2003 My 3-month old 1.9TDI 130PS has developed an intermittent fault with the trip computer. I will be referring it to Ford under warranty, but wondered if anyone else had encountered anything similar. Most of the time the trip computer works fine. Occassionally (more often in the last few days) you start the engine but the computer display does not light up. The only way I've found of bringing it to life is to turn off the ignition and restart. So far this has always worked. When it does start up it hasn't cleared memory 1, which should clear after 2 hours, even though the vehicle has been standing all night (or all day). Which almost suggests a shutdown rather than a startup problem. I know intermittent faults can be challenging for the garage, so any experience that might steer them in the right direction seems worth having! Aid P.S. First and only fault in 3.5 months / 7000 miles, so I'm not too unhappy! Quote
