Ive had to do it with customers cars before as a quick test drive wont show the fault , sometimes you need to drive in all different situations to show its faults

Not exactly a problem but....

Still not 100% sure things are completely right so had the wiring checked to the turbo - and it was fine. While checking however we noticed some previous 'tampering' with the can bus wiring Sad the insulation had been stripped back on both and a shoddy repair with only a little insulation tape, also known tie wrap around the wires / multi pin plug for Ecm was missing. Repair undertaken.....lets see h it goes.?

It has been running well hence I said not really a problem (albiet I did mention it was running rough for about an hour) but as my probs have been intermittent and i've often thought it was an electrical come sensor prob I wonder if this may be related.

It once again backs my theory that the local dealer is incompetent. Evil or Very Mad

Why would they have been messing with the wiring harness?
