Hello

Hi All,

I hope one of you can help. I've just (when I mean just about 2 months ago) bought a Honda Civic 1.7 CTDi SE from CarGiant with one previous owner. It's brilliant and worked fine up until the end of last month.

Around a month ago on route to work my car all of a sudden lost power. I couldn't rev the engine, move faster than 50mph or go past gear 4 unless going downhill. Since it's been happening every other day almost. I took it to my mechanic who carried out a diagnostic test to see if he could find anything. However, he was unable to find anything wrong with the car, as it's proving even more difficult to determine the route cause as there is no warning light on the dash board. He spoke to a Honda Dealership who also said that they're ensure what the problem may be, but that it could be the turbo as there is a known problem with the civic turbos, and that I should take it to them directly.

So, today I took the car to the dealership who also carried out a diagnostic test and they too said they couldn't find the route to the problem and that there was nothing wrong with my car. There's obviously something wrong as its happening regularly now and is very dangerous when it does as I've almost had an accident on 2 occassion because of it. They said as there is no warning signal they can not do anything.

Has anyone had this problem or can advise me what I can do as it's really causing me problems. I work a great distance from home and as there is no tube/train station close to work I have no other means of getting there, and therefore rely on my car heavily. Please please please if anyone knows anything that can help please come back to me, as no matter how much I've tried no one seems to want to help me. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Please............

Thanks,
Bhavika.
