Re: 2001 C5 2.2 cuts out sometimes
have sent a message with the heading MWI. I can't see anything stored in PM board. Could you PM me with anything - because I am new, I wonder if my rights are restricted.

Re: 2001 C5 2.2 cuts out sometimes
I am rather sceptical about it but there is a place near here that does hydrogen cleaning (Gateshead area). A petrolhead mate at work claimed it had done wonders for his car.
Personally I would try a few tanks of premium diesel combined with Italian tune-ups before hydrogen cleaning - IIRC it wasn't cheap.
May have been this place but could confirm if you think it is something she may be interested in trying.

Re: 2001 C5 2.2 cuts out sometimes
That is tempting to try. I’m sure it is coked up to death inside with its near 200,000 miles with the DPF and EGR that has been forced upon it.

my method is a means to clean combustion areas and associated parts and I have used it myself for over 35 years

Re: 2001 C5 2.2 cuts out sometimes
I am not as sceptical about modern injector cleaning but I do take some of their claims with a pinch of salt. hence the word reputable. sorry we can't pm

Re: 2001 C5 2.2 cuts out sometimes
Maybe, maybe. Is this the sort of thing that you diagnose by actually observing live values from Lexia rather than looking for a fault code?

But sadly nothing in my Inbox. Is there a minimum number of posts that a new member needs before they are allowed to use the PM function?

Re: 2001 C5 2.2 cuts out sometimes
hi. I think you should be able to get a "live" fuel rail pressure reading so you could get an idea of idle conditions from that and a screen grab of the other live fields wouldn't go amiss. as I said, there are likely to more than one niggle and they could have a cumulative effect. I can't guess what the magic bullet is yet just as you are just now.
