Hi everyone,
I had a quick look on the first pages of the thread but couldn't find any post that specifically addressed my problem. If the question has already been asked I'd be happy to be redirected to the correct thread.
I have a problem with the crankshaft position sensor. In fact, when the car reaches a certain temperature (without overheating) it tends to jerk at low revs. The classic situation: I'm in traffic with the air conditioning on, and when the traffic starts there's a little hesitation from the engine before I can drive at a constant speed. But just a little misfire and then it's off again. The worst thing is that if the traffic jam situation continues, at some point the repair light (the little wrench) comes on and the turbo stops working, because I can hear the air hissing out of the valve (quite noisy in my case, by the way, but I'll do another post on that).
I took the car to the garage, and they changed my fuel pump and of course the crankshaft sensor. At first I thought my problem was gone, but now, not even 3 months after changing the part, the same worries are coming back and I'm afraid that in January/February I'll have to buy another one. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem permanently? I'm not the first owner of my FIST and I have no idea what changes those before me have made to the car.
Thanks in advance
