My friends mum's car has died, so i got asked to help out ..
Symtoms are it's slow/sluggish, like it's going to cut out. Now won't start.
I asked if the engine is turning over, it is, with the turn of the key it chugs, but no start.
I thought maybe AFM or something similar but we'd get EML surely?
Said it ain't been overheated, incase it was head gasket, or loss of compression or something.
Any body think of anything? IS there an easy way to get fault codes on them?
Try save me some time before going to it!
