Intermitant Warning light and poor engine performance.
#1
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2002 Berlingo, 1.4. petrol, manual, 12/02 manuf, KFW engine. 145,000km.
I have had it from new, it's been pretty good up to 2 wks ago.
I was driving it one evening and it started running like a dog, with the Engine operation warning light flashing.
I got it home ok, and booked it into a mechanic for a few days later. (I drove another car for a few days).
When I started it up to take to the mechanic, everything was fine....no problems, perfect.
I explained to him what had happened, asked him to check it out, and service it at the same time.
He serviced it but just shrugged his shoulders when I asked him about the problem. But it was going ok, so I didn't worry.
Since then, it has intermittently displayed the same problems. every 2 or 3 days, sluggish power, and Engine op warning light.
Then, usually after I stop, but sometimes while I'm still driving, it comes good.
One thing I noticed yesterday, at first the revs at idle were going from 500 to 1000 in about 3-4 second increments, but later (the problem still persisting) they were sitting on a steady 750 at idle (which is abt right).
Driving, it feels like about 5 airconditioners are on, ie low power and a bit rough.
I'm guessing it's the ECU, but really that is a total guess.
Any ideas,
thanks,
TM
