Dear All.
This afternoon ( only 4 days after me doing all the cylinder head work etc
etc. ) on my daughters 1999 Saxo 1.4 automatic. The car broke-down again
whist driving uphill, with no reverse and also no drive either. The ( already too
familiar ) breakdown company brought her car back to me, with a diagnosis
from the recovery guy, that the auto box is " fudged "
I have started the car, and in reverse aswell as drive it doesn,t go any-
where under its own steam.
The engine seems to be making some strange sqeaking noises aswell, but
I will have to have a closer look tomorrow ( they don,t appear to be coming
from the gearbox )
The cars engine starts and runs well, but I still get the feeling that some-
thing still isn,t right with the way the engine " idles " and how " up " and
" down " the revs are sometimes.
At least I can carry on with stopping the sunroof from leaking and try to
have a look at the not working power steering aswell.
My first priority is to try and figure out why the engine isn,t starting and
running anything like I was expecting it to run and tick over when I put the
cylinder head back on.
Any advice and assistance would be very very gratefully received as
usual.
Vince.
