My DSE auto is giving me a headache, a few days ago it started ticking over lumpy and then died but started again shortly after by pumping the accelerator vigorously I put this down to being very low on fuel sitting on a hill as I started it on level ground after it cut out.
Now 2 days ago I drove off, turned a corner heading home about 1/4 mile and could feel it losing power so I kept my foot on the floor til I had to turn when the revs dropped it died, again turning it over and over pumping the pedal away it went.
I now put this down to a fuel problem thinking the fuel is running back or drawing air somewhere which I later found was the case due to a brittle burst spill off pipe, changed it made sure there was no air in the system and away it went no problem until an hour later when it broke down with the mrs who inturn flattened the battery. I got a jump start and away it went no problem.
Again I went out returned home it lost power before I got it in the drive turned it over it started no power steering, popped the bonnet and the fan belt had loosened itself off (maybe the tensioner?)
Anyway Im at my wits end as I have to use an impreza turbo for work which I am not looking forward to emptying my bank into the tank!
