My Ibiza is seriously sick. I was out for a drive last night and hit a puddle at about 30/40. I say puddle but you could have launched the f**king Titanic in it, must have been about 3 - 4 inch deep. I kept driving for about 15 mins after with no problems. It’s a Mk3 20vT.
However, this is where it all goes wrong, jumped in to go to work this morning and when I started it she lasted about 2 sec then cut out – with no warning lights or beeps. I tried again a few times with no luck.
I gave her one last try with a slight blip on the throttle and she burst into life but she won’t rev over 3000rpm when not in gear. While in gear it gets to around 3000rmp then stutters as if struggling to breath it does this to 4000rmp then ‘frees’ itself and rushes up to the redline.
It also stinks of fuel when running over 3500rpm. My engine management light came on when I hit the brakes AND my traction control light has come on and won’t go out.
I’m sh1tting myself, really not the best time of year for an expensive trip to the garage.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
