Hi All
posting again as everyone was so helpful first time around after posting about the issues I was having with the car and dealership with who it was purchased from.
Brief update is that the car has been running fine, recently did a 250 mile trip, shortly after which had the engine light come on and car went into limp mode.
Took it to a garage and it was found to be an issue with spark plugs and coil pack after doing a diagnostic.
These were replaced although the next day the engine light came on again with a different fault code (P0087) which I was told is a fuel pressure issue. The code was reset and I was asked to monitor, have not had any further issues or faults and car has felt fine (this was about a week and 300 miles ago now)
up until today. I turned the car on to drive home from work and noticed it juddered briefly (about 5 seconds) which Stopped shortly after and had no issues driving. Got home and then drove to the shops for about 10 mins and noticed the engine was very hot and could smell the heat coming off it considering the length of trip. Addition there seems to be a noise coming from something after the engine is turned off. I don’t think I can attach a video but it sounds like a pump or something whirring/clicking after the car is stopped.
I’m sure none of the above is normal so wondered if anyone had any ideas what this could be? There’s no engine fault light or indicators of an issue but I’m slightly suspicious that could well be on the way. I have recently bought an OBD2 reader based off suggestions on here so if the light does come I can check the fault code then but ideally want to avoid it getting to that stage
Thanks so much
