Dw8 annoying faults in 52reg expert van. Help needed please

Post by austinmaxi555 »

Hi guys. About two weeks ago I purchased a 52 plate expert. On the drive home about 150 miles in the engine management light came on and the engine developed rather loud diesel knock. Apart from being noisy it has been almost perfect until yesterday when the engine management light went out it wasn't until later that I noticed that my temperature gauge would read full scale three or four times then settle firmly on the left giving no reading whatsoever, furthermore at the same time I have lost my glow plug light. 1.9 dw8 engine. I have seen quite a few similar reports on the net of almost identical symptoms But no one has reported a cure... Any help most welcome kindest regards Martin
As an aside the glow plugs have had a temporary timer and relay connected but yesterday and today the speedo has been intermittent normally about a mile from home just for a few minutes after the first start of the he day.... Could all this be pointing at a more serious ecu fault or a series of unrelated faults

Sorry if that reads a bit scatty I joined another forum for help and got no replies at all. So cut and pasted my series of messages to here

Kindest regards Martin

If you have a look in this thread you may well find someone local who can run the diagnostics on your van.

Thank you. I have found someone close to me in Bedfordshire. Now I juSt need to work out the correct way to contact them. Seriously losing my love for this van as the starter has began throwing out before it has started today so now possibly needs a ring gear or starter. Kindest regards Martin

PM from the forum is generally the best way to contact other members, or email if they have the link enabled (both below their username).
