Title: Laguna 1.9 td problem
Post by: unlucky mark mv6 on 03 April 2011, 12:46:54

Brother has just had the above,and developed a problem,sometimes the car will run ok,and other times it will splutter,and not run at all.Diesel filter changed,air filter checked etc.Also been told its possible injector,but believe you cant just change one.Any ideas folks. :y

when it won't run at all check the fuel filter it maybe a problem with a blocked tank check to see the fuel filter has fuel in it at this time i had this problem before(albeit it alot older cars!) but it took me ages to work it out could also be a fuel pressure problem

i had one of those - unbelievably topping it up with water did the trick - if it runs low on coolant it goes into a "get you home mode" for safety - so check that  :y

Thanks folks.Had a look at the car this afternoon and took it on a drive twice,and drove perfect both times,so dont know what to say really.Also cleaned out the crankcase breather,which was packed solid of crap,weather that would make a difference.Another thing is,when it does play up,it always happens around the same time as the turbo comes into play,and never accompanied by any warning lights. :-/
