Just wondered if anyone has any info or could point me in the right direction to a diagonisis on my poor Megane, if possible.
Car shakes terribly when stand still with engine on and doesn't seem to want to rev very well, but doesn't shake when actually driving along although its a litte sluggish and not as quick as usual at pulling away.
The engine management light came on and was flashing for around 10 mins.
I have taken to car the a small garage where they connected a snap on & at first, said it was the coil pack (I think) anyhow, coil pack and spark plugs were changed but made no difference. Then he suggested it was the fuel injectors, then after connecting an air pressure gage to all 4 coil things, he said no.2 and 3 were loosing pressure and were not at 175 where they should be like no.1 and 4 were and instead 2 & 3 were at 125.
He then suggested it was the head gasket and suggested I should just fit a whole new or second hand engine if I want to keep the car, but he never actually looked at the head gasket? Do you have to look at it to really know thats the problem?
I took the car home and have since looked up on the 'net about head gasket symptoms and the car doesn't seem to have any of the mentioned ones other than poor performance.
Has this happened to anyone else before and what was the cause? Am I really looking at a head gasket problem and a possible new engine?
