Default Update

Hi all.

Just to let you know that I have now had the clean and upgrade done by Bells of Bedford, they were very good and helpful.

On speaking with the service and parts departments, they both told me that this problem is due to "carbon deposits" and a "faulty gasket housing" causing eroneous signals to be sent back to the ECM.

When I asked them what the software update did, they told me that the update stopped the car going into "limp home mode" so as not to cause sudden deceleration. Make what you will of that.

Anyway, the car seems to be fine, but time will tell.

Regards to all,
Agostino
