Hello, I’m new to the forum and just looking to see if anyone can offer me any advice. I’m not car savvy so you’ll have to excuse the terminology.
I've had my rcz for nearly two years, a few weeks ago it went into limp mode and said engine error, a mechanic who lives round the corner from me said it was the catalytic converter (I had this replaced a year ago so found that hard to believe but he put it on a diagnostic and said it was that). I was still under warranty so Evans Halshaw sent it to the Peugeot garage, they said I had a leak and replaced the rocker cover gasket but they wouldn’t investigate further as my service was due, they told me that new spark plugs should fix it.
I had a full service and the same happened again the evening I collected the car, engine light, limp mode, fans blowing and Revs dial moving on its own.
Took the car to Evans Halshaw (the AA wouldn’t recover it as it still drove but they did give me diagnostic codes)... E.H looked at it and said it was the coil pack, they replaced 4 coils and I asked them to investigate the catalytic converter, the fuel pump, the oil leak, the two engine sensors (crank and cam sensor?) & the coils. They told me all was fine now the coils have been changed and sent me away (I have had a million issues with this car since I got it, alternator belt shredding, oil leaks, catalytic converter gone, all sorts).
I drove it on the motorway tonight and it didn’t feel 100%, but I’d just picked it up so I assumed it was nothing, I’ve just got in it and it’s chugged, died in the middle of the road like if you stalled, the engine light is on again and I’m at a loss!
I have no idea what it could be, I thought the fuel pump from reading past posts but they have checked it and it’s fine, it’s fully serviced and has new coils & it passed an emissions test.
my car is now out of warranty and my breakdown cover has run out but I got it in writing to say that E.H would fix it if anything happened from this same problem. Truth be told, I don’t think they know what they’re doing or looking for. It’s also making a weird clicking noise when I rev which it wasn’t doing when I took it in.
Any ideas?
