Hi everyone,
My brother was driving around town yesterday stuck in traffic for 45 minutes, his engine light came on with the message 'Engine, reduced power' appearing on the nav screen.
The car struggles to stay idle in neutral, with the rev counter bouncing between 300-1000 revs. It also jumps when you accelerate.
When he restart the car, he regains normal power but this time the engine light has stayed on therefore i'm thinking its more of a serious problem?! At first I thought it may have been a dodgey temperature sensor.
Please note, this problem only seems to occur when in traffic.
Any advice or help would be much appreciated
