Title: Misfire on a 2.5CD
Post by: TR on 19 April 2010, 20:00:09

Hi there. A request if spmebody could help me out with a problem on a 2000 post facelift 2.5CD Estate. I've had the car from new and its done 120K. In the past 18 months I've had rocker gaskets and oil heat exchanger replaced by a dealer for £800 but recently engine has started to run rough.  It sounds as if it is  only running on 5 cylinders. I'm based in Leatherhead Surrey so would really appreciate it if someone could help me out or recommend a good garage in the area

welcome, firstly pop out the plug leads and check for any fluid in the wells.  :y

Thanks have done this for the plug leads on the drivers side and no fluid here but cant get at those on the passenger side so easily. Will try again tomorrow when it is light

Hi  many thanks for the advice  but think I've probably hit my limit in trying to get at the points on the passenger side. I don't want to remove things I might not be able to put back so looks like its a trip to the local garage. If there is fluid in the wells what is the prognosis minor or serious.
