AlanFC Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 MY C3 Hdi 16v SX stalled at the lights and I lost my power steering after I restarted. Pulled in further up the road, turned engine off for a few minutes, restarted and power steering resumed. Anyone shed any ideas (50 miles old!)? Spooky eh? Regards, AlanFC Quote
pork_pie Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Yeah, the car is a bag of ****. Look I had that problem where the engine response was errativ and the cruise control failed. Mysteriously both went normal after restarting. The ECU resets everything. Since then the car has been in 4 times without remedy. Now the car engine is permently acting crazy even after restarting and the cruise control has gone to pot. iN OTHer words get it checked and dont leave the garage until its done or else you could end uo with an uncomfortable period.

cee3peeoh Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 Pork pie... as u know I've been in a couple of the sites question forums... There seems to be a lot of problems regarding the 16v hdi , I've got the 1.4i 75bhp petrol and none of these problems have reared their ugly head. Is it just the Diesel that is causing problems ? I'd be interested to know if this does affect the petrol. It seems to me that most of the really bad experiences have come from HDI owners. cheers gaz :o Quote
Guest Mark A Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 The 16v HDi diesel's a very recently designed engine - remember that they're not all causing problems ... <fx: looks around for nearest timber> Quote
