I have had my 2004 1.7 CDTI for a few months and have noticed a couple of problems, hoping someone may be able to suggest what may be wrong?
The first problem we have had is, occasionally - the engine will just completely cut out. It doesn't stall or anything, just cuts out.
This usually happens when coming to a stop and have clutch depressed and revs drop, does anyone know what could be the cause of this? I've had it in a couple of local garages and nobody has a clue. Diagnostics not bringing up any faults either?
My second problem has only just started when my local garage changed the steering rack.
Whenever I put full lock on either way, with the clutch depressed - the clutch pedal actually resists against my foot. I can move the wheel and it stops, move it the other way and it resists more.
I thought this may be a cable pulling or something however the garage said it's hydraulic and they don't know why it's happening.
Hopefully some of you may have had similar problems or have some idea why this is happening? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!!
