02 1.2 dont know where to start need help - Peter.N.
I don't know much about modern petrol engine but I would suspect that the temperature sensor is faulty, that can cause all sorts of other problems if its output is fed to the engine ECU.

do u know if this would be expensive to fix

If its linked to refuelling, there could be a problem with the fuel tank breather causing fuel starvation. This would cause difficult starting / poor engine response.

This wouldn't cause the temperature gauge to fail though - could this be a separate issue?

Agree re temp sensor!

If its linked to refuelling>>


It could be that after refuelling is the only time it is started hot, otherwise the OP might drive to work, home, shopping in each case leaving it a good while before it is started again.

02 1.2 help everything seems wrong with my car - davecuk
It sounds as if one (hopefully simple) problem might be generating all those spurious fault codes....the real question you need to ask is: how to avoid replacing everything that's "faulty"on a trial and error basis, to only find it doesn't fix the problem....

That said, you don't mention what the problem is, a mechanic needs to use his eyes ears, and nose, not just a computer!

{I've moved the replies to Linda's other post here, as it's still discussing the same problem with the same car. Also, it saves me having to edit the vague subject header for a 2nd time to include a brief summary of the question being asked!}
