Hi again
2nd post in the hour... but this is what sundays are for
I have been trawling the forum for an answer but I hope someone can think about this with a fresh brain!
The EOBD stays on after the starting the engine around 30% of the time. Sometimes it will be off for a whole week. If it does come on it can sometimes be fixed by restarting the engine a few times.
Also, when it comes on the fan will run constantly. I do not know if this is the ECU just being cautious or it is a temperature sensor fault.
Regarding the temperature guage - it normally sits just off the bottom, around the 50 mark... I seemed to remember it getting near 60 once! But the heater seems toasty enough.
I am reluctant to take it to a garage if it is an intermittent wiring fault as this will probably cost a fortune in labour.
If someone can give me a list of things to check I would appreciate it. I do not have any sort of workshop manual to help me test the temperature sensor for example.
I don't know if it is running rich.. it only does 25mpg - but most of this is my wife going 1 mile to work in the winter months. She cycles when the weather is better!
Thanks!
