Have a question for anyone with a good knowledge of fords
My 2010 2.0 tdci140 galaxy was failing to start intermittently last year and after 3 trips to the main dealer as it ws under warranty they fitted a new throttle body on ford uk s advice
Trouble free until last weekend the trouble has returned
Now it now what I'm looking at I've discovered the problem the butterfly inside the housing snaps shut under vacuum as soon as the key is turned off and it should drop open a few seconds later but sometimes it sticks shut
Them on the next restart there's no air flow and no start up
Ive cleaned it all out today and there's nothing to see wrong but if you close it manually sometimes it will stick
My question is can I block and leave off tHe vacuum line so it never closes I've tried it and it starts and stop fine I was just wondering are there any consequences to leaving it open
Any help would be great
And yes this part is probably still under warranty as its not fitted 12 months yet but I can't be arsed running to the dealer again and again until it fails under his care
After 3 visits last time it still hadn't done it with him nd it took around 20 attempts to start it at home
