Hi!
I'm very new to the forum, I've had a good sift through but can't really find an answer to the problems I'm having. My instinctive guess is that the problems lie with the Lambda Sensor but hopefully someone can give me some good suggestions and point me in the right direction. Have been feeling a bit skint after Christmas and New Year as always so wanted to get a good idea of if this is something I can fix myself before I consider taking it to the garage.
This all started the other day, I was driving along for a good 10-15 minutes and noticed that the engine temperature light hadn't moved on my dashboard, I did a bit of high revving for a minute and it did bump up to 2 bars but then as I returned to driving normally it dropped back down to no bars.
The engine had definitely heated up, under the bonnet my Radiator levels are halfway between Min & Max and my Oil level is good with about a half tank of petrol.
On my next Journey, I had the same problem - still no bars and the car wasn't feeling 100%. I Parked up and was away for about 30 minutes, came back started the engine and had about 2 bars which went back down to no bars as soon I started driving.
Had an alright drive for about 10 minutes, Struggling up hills and on one long incline the Engine shaped light was flashing and the car felt a bit juddery. Managed to get home fine but the cars performance had literally sunk.
Drove today and have had no problems other than just the performance overall.
Any ideas to what I can do to fix the issue?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Many Thanks
Ezra
