Re: 2.1 DJ playing up when hot

Changed the distributor and seems to have solved the issue as far as I can tell. I would like to keep the original distributor so I think this needs hall sender changing. Has anyone got recommendation for this part as I can see quite a difference in price from various outlets. Thanks. Bremi is a che...

Re: 2.1 DJ playing up when hot

Yep it's a digifant as you thought. So I have a DJ engine with a digifant. All service items I purchased in the past were based on having a DJ engine, plugs, leads etc. The coil is the same I've never changed it, labelled bremi 11822. I know that this is a DJ engine as it has the higher compression ...

Re: 2.1 DJ playing up when hot

Thank you I will focus on what you described. I do have a question tho, what differentiates a DJ from a Mv or SS? The physical engine is the same it's just the ignition, ecu and injector system around it? 253 GC3 is a LHD Kombi with either an MV or SS engine, so Digifant originally, ECU should be in...

Code is 253G C7

Defo a DJ block. But It does look like it's been altered in the past due to the various cables in the loom doing nothing. I have been using it perfectly fine for last 7 years so this has been the setup since I've owned it.

Re: 2.1 DJ playing up when hot

Thanks Aidan. No it's not in the junction box, I will have a better look when I can get out there later but from a quick glance I can't see anything.

Re: 2.1 DJ playing up when hot

Sorry if this a stupid question but I was expecting to find the ignition module on left ha d side of engine bay next to coil etc but it's nowhere to be seen. Is it possible it doesn't have one? I would suspect the ignition module, tci, 191 915 351 B, failure when hot restarts when cold is pretty muc...

Re: 2.1 DJ playing up when hot

Replace the whole distributor you mean? Do you know what exactly fails with the distributor to cause this issue?

2.1 DJ playing up when hot

Hi All I'm looking for some help with a problem that has reared its head again. Couple of years ago my 2.1 DJ started playing up, started to breakdown under load, misfiring and not starting when hot. This was eventually resolved by what I only assume was cleaning up the earth wires. At the time I wa...
