To marco polo,

Take car back to dealer & ask for copy of diagnostics report created by technician when looking for fault. They will probably try & fob you off, saying its too technical & you would not understand it. Insist on it, you paid good money for the part & you need to know if it was down to electrical problem, if it was non electrical & just coked up ask why they did not clean it. Double check all your pipe work connected with induction side of engine, have a friend blip the throttle & look for any pipes closing in on themselves or indeed any loose pipework. They will probably carry out another diagnostics check for FREE ? seeing as you would appear to have possibly the same fault again?

PM me if you want with Dealer name & car details, engine code etc. Do not mention dealer name on main public forum. Might be able to help you.

Regards, Beagh.

PS: Will leave it with you.
