Hi Everybody,
I've just joined the club.
How I stumbled upon this website is a month ago my car 54 i-ctdi went in for servicing & MOT at Listers Honda Coventry. I Thought it would be a normal service but alas they told me exhaust manifold is cracked. Got it replaced from them (approx £580 + £50 for coolant) as they said it would be MOT failure.
Then after 2 or 3 days I started noticing the car started to hesitate specially in 3 gear while accelerating. It was like I don't know how to explain but like you know when washing machine starts to dry clothes like oooooonnnnn....ooooonnnnnnn...ooooooonnnnnnn. I noticed it 4th gear but not very prominent. I called back honda Coventry and told them the problem started happening after they serviced and changed exhaust manifold. They agreed to diagnose the car for free but they couldn't find any fault with the engine. They did put it on diagnostics but no fault codes (what they say). they advised me to change fuel filter. I knew it could be fuel file because meanwhile I've been reading on your website how some people got their fixed by changing fuel filter.
So I booked in my car again to change fuel filter (£105). The hesitation is less but still there. Its like car is jerking while accelerating and I've noticed it happens after I've driven the car for about 15 20 miles sometimes the car just drives perfectly.
As you can see I've already spent about £700 on the car and I'm in no mood to spend anything major any more. Any sort of help would be greatly welcome.
Thanks
