As those of you who have read my other posts might know, I have a little problem (from new) with my Pro-Ceed 31.6 Diesel.
I wondered how common this particular problem is, and whether any of you have had it?
Shortly after starting out, on possibly 25% of occasions, the engine will go into a fault mode where it simply won't rev above 2,900 rpm.
<UL>
<LI>It can happen cold or warm</LI>
<LI>If it does happen it's within 5 minutes of starting</LI>
<LI>It needs to have had the engine stopped for at least 40 minutes to happen</LI>
<LI>Stopping the engine and re-starting will clear the fault for the whole journey</LI>[/list]
But:-
<UL>
<LI>Kia say it isn't the filter problem reported on some Hyundai i30</LI>
<LI>There is no fault logged, and no warning lights</LI>
<LI>It isn't the widely reported misfire problem (engine tune has been updated in case)</LI>[/list]
The only clue so far is that the dealer did manage to re-produce the fault with the diagnostics still attached, and it showed a "low fuel pressure" fault. It's going back into the dealer at the end of the month for more advanced diagnostics, but I just wondered if the issue is unique to me?
