| Complete Loss of Engine Power |
|
Very strange, this morning - with the wintry weather, as usual I set the heater timer (& was even photographing the effect, as evidence  ). Got delayed & went out after 40mins, rather than before the 30 min timer had ended - and found that the fbh was still running! Car was fine & warm - the fans had picked up speed (so it is obviously linked to the a/c controls) but the fbh light was still on & running (must have been 30 degrees inside & -2 outside!). Tried starting up - fine - however on engaging any gear, no revs available & best was moving about a metre! Took several attempts at switching engine off & on, before the fbh went off & engine power instantly came back on.
Just hope the ecu doesn't do that out on the open road

Mine did this, the fiirst time I tried it. I went back into settings to check fbh was off and then all was fine.
