Engine problems with my DSport 1.6
Hi all,
You'll have to bare with me as I'm not exactly mechanically minded despite working in the motor trade myself lol
I recently purchased a 2012 DS3 DSport THP Plus 1.6 petrol , looks lovely, seemed to drive ok then it seemingly got worse and worse as the week went on??
I noticed that it was misfiring when idling, badly....then it would settle down a bit. Then I was driving back from Rotherham one morning and it felt a fair bit sluggish, before I knew it the engine management light came on and I was in limp mode. I got it onto the hard shoulder, turned the ignition off, then on and it drove back ok but "engine repair" appeared on the centre computer.
I had it plugged in at work, fault codes P1336, P1337 and P1338 which is cylinder misfire 1, 2 and several I think?? Changed the plugs and coil packs to be sure...seemed better. But even now it seems a touch lumpy when idling and when I go to put my foot down it just doesn't seem to pull like id expect it?? Its like its pulling back for a second before it goes forward If I make any sense?
I've read abit on here about carbon build up and the like? Any ideas guys?
