hi, well i took off the regulator and its shot, its not closing permanently open, so replaced it. ordered fuel filter here tomorrow.
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
There isn'toh looked on the fuel rail diagram and inside the regulator there is a filter, (injector fuel rail), shows a flat filter on the fuel pump attached to the fuel filter. say flat funny looking thing sticks out from the pump, and then an inline one, is it just the inline one that you just change ?
Pre (coarse) filter on the pump, main (fine) filter next to the diff
How many miles since the fuel filter was done?4 years ago at a garage. says extra replaced fuel line so think that means the connections for the filter. brain and eyes fogging up. i will have a look later when things come back to normal going to have to have a lay down.
I have seen them where they get clogged and effectively become a rev limiter!
, I had the lombard sensor changed a 2 years ago, after garage stripped the threads on it, hum spark plugs done last year with new leads, new coil pack as well, oil changed august with oil filter, timing belt and water pump and runners feb last year or march. replaced manifold as had what looked like a crack in between 2 and 3 ports. replacement cat (garage changed) did this and brock the sensor. had a water pressure test last week, leaks friend of mine did this has he had the tool at the time. have loads of other things done before i received the car, nearly a full history from second owner. fuel filter was changed 4 years ago according to previous own and fuel line. but nothing on the fuel pump in paper work. brake lines abs bit of welding steering idler and other stuff like cambelt changes etc,its 16v. engine. Dr Gollum. pulls away ok . could it be a weak fuel pump. or would engine management say something if it was that, lose increase at 60 to 70 motorway driving, seems like its holding back
need to try and get this figured out as in hospital next week, as liver failing was hoping to get something doe before i have to do nothing for 6 weeks.
If it's your only mode of transport then I'd leave well alone till after you're well enough to fix it - which hopefully will be swift.
Bad lambda sensors can cause similar effects. Not sure if I'm supposed to reveal ABS secrets on here - but the C30SE has an IanM wooo-waaa test and it may work on other Bosch fuel systems. Basically on a warm engine, in neutral, hold the throttle part open - say 3000 rpm. If the engine speed varies slowly the noise you hear will be like a Woooo-Waaaaaaa-Woooooo-Waaahhh sound rather than a constant Woooooooo. Try it at other RPM's. On a C30SE this is symptomatic of a failing lambda sensor, and if you know what you're listening for it can be detected long before the engine management light comes on.
its done 149,634 miles ??i do get engine rock. and sometimes it dont like to go up a hill have to drop down an gear sometimes 2, just started engine up and idle has gone up so think will have to leave it till the oil has dropped down, past the rings, over night should be fine. but main problem was starting engine run up road for 5-6 miles and its gray white smoke,, but had engine head test done and no leaks on that and now water lose. could it be the fuel ?If it's only the 8v lump, then it has its work cut out shifting an Omega sized lump around... changing down a couple of gears could be considered normal...
