Please help me.
I recently bought Picasso with 147,000 miles and it has a Bosch EDC16C3 ECU.
While in Somerset the engine died, and the MIL was on. A local garage diagnosed dirty diesel, cleaned the tank, replaced the filter and switched off the MIL. I filled the tank at Morrison?s in Glastonbury.
A week later, tank nearly empty (87 mile range left), near home in Slough the MIL came back on, I headed for home but the engine died on the way. The starter turned the engine over quickly. The display said ?Economy mode active?. The red battery light stayed on even after removing the ignition key. Green flag brought me home.
I felt the intermitant nature was probably an electrical fault. I undid and squirted switch cleaner into every connection I could find. I checked every fuse was ok. I checked the engine to body earth by checking for a voltage difference while the starter was turning the engine. Still wouldn't start.
A friend attached his ELM & laptop and gave me the codes:
P0087 ? Diesel high pressure monitoring. Pressure below the reference value. (leak).
P1113 ? Diesel high pressure regulation circuit. Rail pressure below minimum pressure.
P1351 ? Pre/Post heating relay circuit. Relay not controlled and glow plugs supplied.
I bought the Haynes manual found the glow plug relay, checked it was clicking in/out. Guessed that the big wires were power/earth and the 4 medium wires probably went to the glow plugs and checked the ampage consumed. 2 took about 10 amps, one about half that and the last one nothing. I took off the air-filter and ducting, found the glow-plugs (with a light & a mirror) and spotted that the left end glow-plug was disconnected. I found a nut/washer and reattached it. I ignored the half power glow-plug as it?s probably doing something. I guess that has fixed the P1351 code. But still wouldn't start.
I added a gallon of fresh diesel and bled some out of the bottom of the Delphi fuel filter which looked perfect. It fired up for a few seconds then died again.
I guess the P0087 & P1113 codes mean a fault in the HP pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors or HP fuel sensor on the common rail. Since the fuel filter has been changed, I guess that it?s not that. It looks like the HP pump runs off the timing belt so I?m not changing that, unless I know it is that. The injectors need to be added to the ECU by a Citroen garage so I can?t change them my-self. The HP fuel preasure sensor is part of the common rail, Citroen say it can?t be changed. I can?t run some injector cleaner through, as I can?t start the engine.
The starter still turns the engine over quickly but it doesn?t fire. The MIL is still on. The display still says ?Economy mode active?. The red battery light still stays on even after removing the ignition key.
I disconnect the battery and charge it between attempts.
I don?t know what to try next, someone please point me in the right direction.

In 2005 my wife and I purchased 2 Picantos from a local Kia dealer. An LX and an SE. In 2007 my wifes car started to play up. When you took your foot off the accelerator the engine continued to rev. A quick computer diagnosis by the dealer showed a faulty temperature sensor which was duly fitted and all appeared well. The car had 12000 on the clock at this point. Having driven my SE while hers was in dock my wife said that mine seemed very sluggish compared to hers, so an appointment was made to get it checked out a few days hence. This one had done 25000 miles. We had to make a round trip of some 500 miles in the meantime and took my wifes' newly repaired car. Halfway through the trip the same problem manifested itself. I immediately arranged for the dealer to look at both cars at the same time and with a struggle got the car back home. We delivered both cars to the dealer first thing in the morning and at 5 returned to pick them up. We were literally gobsmacked to be told that both cars required a new short engine. The problem apparently was that the pulley on the end of the crankshaft that drives the timing belt had come loose and screwed up the end of the crankshaft. The fact that this happened on both cars and was diagnosed on the same day was somewhat alarming. Furthermore KIa were not prepared to provide even one courtesy car for the 3 weeks it was going to take to fix the cars. In the end our dealer, who also happened to be a Peugot dealer, registered 2 brand new peugot 207s for our use, they were brilliant. I understand from the dealer that this has now happened on several vehicles, some of them just out of warranty so incurring hefty bills for the owners.
My wife and I both actually like the cars but have lost all faith in Kia and would not hesitate to get rid of them could we afford it. We both actively advise people to avoid Kia altogether as a result of this experience. Any others had this problem? Read more

My Ka is overheating but the light isn't coming on in the dash. The light works ok as it tests at start up. The radiator fan does not come on either but does when I unplug the wiring on the coolant temp sensor. I have bled system, checked thermostat and checked for any blockages and fitted new temp sensor and no change. I am now thinking maybe the water isn't passing the coolant temp sensor and the problem is the water pump. In the haynes manual it says I need to remove the wheel arch liners, front bumper and headlight to fit a new water pump. Has anyone done this themselves that could advise whether I do have to do all that?

I had a nail in one of my tyres today as as it was a cheap and nasty thing already on the car and down to 3mm I thought it was best to replace it. I called the local tyre guy out and I asked him to fit a mid range tyre he fitted a Cooper Sportmaster GLE and charged £46 including balancing. The tyre looks pretty good but I can't find anything about these tyres on the net.

If the tyre is half decent I might get the same person out to replace the other on a few months time as that is down to 3.5mm and again is a cheap fastfit special.

All I know is they are apart of Avon and properly more popular in the USA than Europe? Read more

Having read L'escargot's efforts to remove excess oil, I am wondering, is it a problem if the oil is overfilled?

I recently had an 'extra' (6,000 m) oil/filter service on my 1.6 TDCI, and it came back with the oil well over the top marker.

Should I follow L's example?

Thanks
