    Hi Guys,
    my car ( 406 turbo diesel ) will play up every time it
    starts and I wondered if anyone else has this?. Now here's the clue, I've
    noticed that if I turn the ignition key and the rev counter goes to full
    scale then back down the car will then run rough and noisily. However if I
    turn the key and the rev counter just jumps up and returns to idle straight
    away the cars performs as it should.
    So what causes the car to do this , can anyone point me in the right
    direction please? Thanks for your time.

    Regards,

    Andy Sarbutt.

  2. Don't know why this happens to a diesel, mines a petrol and sometimes do
    something similar if it gets flooded, e.g. I inadvertently press the
    throttle before switching off, this will flood it, but cant be the same on a
    diesel, maybe something to do with the turbo!
    sorry I cant help any more than this regs, mark.
