xantiahdi110 tickover
105000 miles, nohistory of overheating,oil consumption, or smoke, 55mpg, just completed 2000 mile trip with caravan in tow. only current defect is a hole in the exhaust in front of back box. car is 2001 and has developed a very uneven tickover, but in every other way drives normally.Could the exhaust problem be affecting the cat? Any tips gratefully received before the main dealer gets his hands on my plastic!!!!!!!
All aspects of engine control are by the ECU so it will probably be related to that. The MAF could be a suspect.
How does the idle speed vary , abruptly or slowly and by how much ?
Also when does it vary , at start up , when cold or hot or both ?

Thanks for the advice, I live in france, and the car was last refuelled in the uk. I filled up for the first time yesterday with frances finest, guess what--- problem solved. Obviously she doesn't like english diesel, not logical, but the car is french after all!!!!. Colin
Could have been some water contamination , check the filter drain.
