Hi folks, wondering if anyone out there has had a similar problem, or, from my hamfisted description could tell me or help with a problem with my A2 engine.
I recently drove from South Yorks, to London and back, so around 480 miles, and it drove faultless, ive used it for the first time since, and my engine light started flashing about 5 mins into my journey, the engine started getting really juddery, and it doesnt have a steady rev count, like the engine is losing power?? the car has done 104k, its a petrol 1.4 SE, when i bought it, it had 103k on the clock, and i made enquiries about the Timing belt being done, because id read that it needs doing after 80k? the fella couldn't giveme details, but i liked it, and wanted it, and spent my money... could it be the belt? or could it be something else? any help would be amazing, as im not 100% mechanically minded, but i do have the power of the internet, and a mechanic mate who can fix these problems blindfolded
