DW8 Running Rough..
Hi Guys,
Basically my mother has a 1.9D DW8 Multispace, 51 plate.
Its only done 98,000 but has been running rough for the past month.
It sounds like someone is hitting it with a hammer and it shakes quite abit when first started, which does smooth out, but the noise is still there.
I automatically thought fuel starvation, so I changed the fuel filter, and checked for air.. no issues.
Then I did some research and I thought it could be the advance solenoid, but when I unplug this, it actually gets worse, so therefore that must be working?
Now I have just found this video on youtube, and his problem was the injector with the wire coming out of it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYZalRLTzIg
So how do I go about checking if this injector is faulty? Or is it just a case of swapping it out for a known working one??
Also, is it possible to remove the EGR system and block it off completely, as I know on my old ford I could bolt plates on the manifold holes and do away with the complete lot.
Many thanks! Paul.
