Alright, so I posted this in the "what pissed you off today?" thread,
"My f**king piece of f**king sh*t Nova keeps f**king shutting off.
So there I was this morning, on my way to my mate's house to pick him up to attend a meeting at school, and when I was almost to his house, my car shut off twice.
On the way to school, it was an absolute f**king nightmare. Every possible worst place to stop, my car stopped. TEN F**KING TIMES. IN LESS THAN 10 F**KING KILOMETERS.
So, then I got to school. I managed to park my car just as it stopped the last time. Attended the meeting and everything. After it was done, my friend's mate came and told me he knows a mechanic near by. The car just drove spiffingly again. Got to his garage and left him the car. He changed all the pipes and the filter and gave the tank a cleaning.
Fine, I paid him the money, went to my house with my friend so I could pay him back, and took him home. The car drove just great. I left his house, and halfway to my house, the car stopped twice. Again.
Parked my car, rang the guy up and he came with his tow truck. I popped the hood, and I noticed air near the Bosch plumb thing where the diesel filter attaches to.
He then asked me if I've changed the fuel tank cap lately and I said yes. He told me that might be the problem due to suction, so I took it off and drove home without it. I managed to get home without it stalling, but just as I got to the end of my street, the car almost shut off and almost shut off again when I parked it.
I don't know what to do. He said maybe the fuel gauge might not be reading correctly, but I know there's diesel in it. How the hell could I possibly use 20 Euro's worth of diesel (about 18L) when I drove it a maximum of 30KM total since I topped it off?
I don't know what to f**king do.
He said it could be a dirty pump, so sometime this week or next, I'll drive it to a place and see.
If anyone has suggestions, just tell me. I've just about f**king had it with today."
What would be cheaper? A new pump or cleaning the old one?
I might also get injector cleaner, just in case.
