Hello folks,

First time on here, and it's to ask for help.

Recently her 1.1 206 over heated in traffic. I took it to Glews Garage near Goole. After a high bill the fault was diagnosed as corroded wiring, and radiator sensors, low and high speed.
Everything was done with the low speed sensor ordered.
Then yesterday, her engine management light came on and the sh*tty car started running on three cylinders!
I had a look and thought that some of the wiring was wet, maybe from the overheat and coolant from the expansion bottle.
Any ideas please before the Dads garage bill shoots up (again!)

head gasket gone? Thermostat bu66ered?

If its overheating and dropped to 3 cylinders id bet it h/g gone. Get it compression tested.

Thank's but I hope you're wrong!

The plugs seems to be the correct colour. I haven't got a compression tester, but yes it's worth a check.

Is corroded wiring, overheating, head gasgets regular on these things?

It dosen't seem to be over heating now the fan sensors have been changed. But as I mentioned, it's now running on three with the engine management light on Sad

I code read them for £20 + £0.60 a mile one way after 20 miles from S25.

Would be roughly £30 for me to come to you (based on typing Goole into Google)

Get a compression tester kit. You can get them for around £10 in store.

Take off your coil pack, unscrew the spark plugs, screw in the compression test to Cylinder 1, record compression. Repeat for 2, 3 and 4.

Put in a small amount of oil in Cylinder 1, recheck the compression. Repeat for 2, 3 and 4.

Really, there was no need to take it to the garage and get a costly bill (out of interest, how much was this?) as you could have checked all of the necessary parts yourself cheaply and quickly.

Sorry for the delay, been away from the comupter.

The daughter has booked the thing in to Glews Garage (again).

The hourly rate last time was £63.50!

It cost £167.50 for them to tell me that the rad fan sensors where knackered. So I dread the bill this time!

Pure LOL's

Guessing you have aircon, with the sensors at the front. They corroded like a chocolate tea pot melts.

Plus the headgasket has gone now too, oh and we charge at a main dealers £86.76 per hour for diagnostic work

You got raped

Why take it back there once you've been slapped with that bill once before?

Fool me once...

I was talking about the first time, not the second bill. Effort levels and all that

Btw injectors second hand go for about £20 (all four and rail) and take about 20 minutes to fit by an untrained person
