Hi Guys,
I bought a second hand 2005 156 last week, prior to purchase could not fault vehicle at all.
The day the caryard had roadworthy and transfers done, they ran the car dry. I took delivery, refueled and drove for about 50km without issue, then pulled up to a stop sign and it spluttered but didn't cut out, and no warning lights. happened a few more times, then finally stopped at sign and she died. Would not restart for about 5 min. Then finally did got about two blocks and it happened again. this time low pressure warning came up on computer. Stopped and topped up oil it was halfway between two holes on dipstick. But if I let the car just run idling no problem can idle for ages with no issue, pulling up with clutch engaged and she dies. I've been reading about the MFS? sensor was about to unplug and take her for a run and see what happens... but anyone have an idea? I have her booked in for Monday so I'll know more then, but it may help if I can find out prior...to an expensive undertaking at dealer.
