#1: DIY Diagnosis Thread For Newbies Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Thu Dec 03, 2015 4:05 pm ---- Right, im starting to get rather agitated with one post wonders so heres a little thread which will be put into two sections. The first section is about what we expect from you (the person with the issue) and the second is common problems/whether something is fixable via online
WHAT WE EXPECT
EML, Airbags, ABS Etc
- What codes you have? IT IS COMPLETELY POINTLESS POSTING A THREAD WITHOUT THESE, OTHERWISE YOU ARE WASTING OUR/YOUR TIME
- When did it come on?
Hot, cold, today, last week, when i went to get a 'cheeky nandos with the lads'.......
- Did you experience any issue when it came on?
Misfires, lack of power, juddering, cutting out, engine exploding and car on fire......
- What do you have to do to induce the fault?
Slow, cruising, hammering it to warp speed
- Is it permanent?
IS IT STILL HAPPENING FOR THE SIMPLES
- What have you done recently to the car?
That banging induction kit doesnt so great now does it?
- What have you done to try and fix it?
A hammer doesnt count
Rattles
- Where is it to the closest point
- Have you modified anything recently?
- Have you done anything to the car recently?
Water Leaks
WATER TEST THE BLOODY CAR FIRST THEN REPORT BACK WITH YOUR FINDINGS
SECTION TWO

This will do for now, i will carry this on in due course, if a mod could sticky this it may help us in future posts

I might be a Mechanic but I cant fix Stupid!
I'm More telpepathetic than telepathic.
