how does the coolant sensor cause the idle speed to vary?

it adds more fuel in default than the correct reading would, It then fouls the plugs which alters the engine speed, when the plugs clean up at higher revs the circle of events begin again.

Good luck with it, and MMC

Let me know how the car runs once you have it back, mine's nbeen ok recently but sounds lie the coolant sensor could be worth a look at?

Give them the spark plugs back, ask for your old ones. There was obviously nothing wrong with the old ones, because fitting the new ones made it no better

Cheers,

Lowest common denomenator is that MMC are sh*t with cars.

They cannot diagnose problems, they take too long, they sh*t you on the phone and they break the fcuk thing before giving it back (see my previous posts).

Just why do none of us want to post our experience in the meets section

As I said before - if we have no intention of taking action, why complain on this forum?

It is the same story, time after time...............
