Hi,
I wonder if anyone could help me re my 2003 Saxo, 1.1 petrol. Recently I've had trouble getting it to start, or rather it starts briefly but cuts out straight after. If you keep trying and rev it as you turn the key, it sometimes catches and will drive. It's been getting progressively worse so today we took it to ATS who put it on the diagnostic machine... Short story, £160 later, a new coil pack and spark plugs later we drove to the supermarket from the garage only to come out and have exactly the same problem. We took it back to ATS who stuck to their original diagnosis despite not having fixed the problem and suggested a different garage that would have time to do more in depth checks..we drove there to find it closed. Having almost had to call the breakdown service when it wouldn't restart on the way home we got back and had a nose under the bonnet ourselves... I've attached pics. It looks like this hose thing has snapped off....I haven't a clue what it is, what it does and whether if we can start the car, it's safe to drive back to the garage. I phoned ATS who said they couldn't comment over the phone and would call back which they didn't. Any help would be much appreciated...with regards to what this part is and also any ideas as to what original problem could be. :wacko:
Thanks in advance.
