56 PLATE DDIS LIMP MODE PROBLEM AARRGGHH HELP PLEASE

Post by slappinbass » Sat Jun 06, 2015 6:04 pm

Are there GRAND VITARA experts on here, I have a 56 plate 1.9ddis (Renault engine) , The problem I have had for the last 3 months is that it intermittently goes into limp mode and shows zigzag light ( injection system )whilst going up hills or while driving with a load in the car or more than one person in the car. Before I acquired the truck it had a new turbo, intercooler ( Suzuki recall ) and another pipe repair ( Suzuki recall ). The fault code originally came up with turbo wastegate actuator fault, this turned out to be a tiny hole in the vacuum pipe , problem solved ? NO , 3 to 4 days later ( just after I put it up for sale ) same problem but now says map sensor fault, this was replaced yesterday with a bosch sensor at £90 and guess what ?, problem was worse, motor factors getting me another new one midweek but just wondered if any of you 4x4 experts have come across this problem and sorted it, thanks in advance........Ant

If you are luckily someone might have experience with this. We are mostly owners of older vehicles though.
