Hi all,
im hoping you can help me, im new to this forum and have been looking around for help on this but need some reassurance as my beloved 06 2.2CDTI is currently sitting in Gatwick Honda being diagnosed......
Started two weeks ago, driven 1/2 mile from work toward M23 on dual carriage way, accelerated and the engine coughed and then lost power. Check engine light came on and had to pull over as i had nothing and the engine wouldnt start. 10 mins later i tried again and the car started so got it home.
Booked in to local garage i trust and as i went to drive it round, the warning light cleared (thought id try that 3 x 20secs) so thought my car was playing up.
Since then, its coughed twice and lost power but then the engines almost restarted (like anti-stall) so ive been able to carry on...my confidence though is gone.
It is also harder to start first off so garge hooked it up, brought up P1065, P0087 and P2185. They cleared it and took it for a drive and P1065 reappeared after stopped with the mechanic in it.
They told me it was a diesel specialist or manufacturer code so couldnt help me further and as my nearest specialist is quite far away i felt my real only option was local dealer.
(Apologies for the story!! but just wanted to make sure you had all the info i do!)
Anyhoo, they've got it this morning, confirmed the code and say its fuel pump related and trying to do me for £2k new fuel pump. Not convinced, they are now charging me £111 to try a 'donor pump' to confirm if its that.
Im not convinced, i've asked them to check the fuel filter but is there anything else i can do?
As you've prob guessed, i'm not entirely clued up on this, so any help is really appreciated.
I know im about to get spanked just to diagnose it, but really cant justify £2k on an 06 plate car...barely worth it!
