2009DJTDI Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Hello all! I've got a few problems driving me mad at the moment. Was hoping for feedback. 1. Drivers side door luck. A few months ago now the driver's side door decided to luck and would not open. I initially thought it was the locking mechanism but eventually found out that it is a computer fault. The initial fix was great...unhook the negative terminal on the battery and hey Presto! An open door...well for a couple of weeks and then do the same thing again. It gradually got worse to the point were I'm doing the battery disconnect a few times a day. It seems to have a mind of its own! My current thinking is that the computer needs a complete flash reset. Does anyone have any info on this? 2. Engine warning light comes on but it's done this since I got the car and have drummed up around 12,000 miles with no problem. I plugged in the engine diagnostic tool and it comes up with a P2563 code. Again, any info would be great on this thanks. 3. When fuel gets low the engine stumbles slightly. Anyone else had this? Thanks for the help and info if you have any. Edited August 5, 2018 by 2009DJTDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2009DJTDI Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 The main problem is the door locking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the journey wasn’t a 7 seater I would have found something else and dropped a VW TDI into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm not disagreeing with you. Just stating the fact that no single engine did more to sully the good reputation of the diesel engine in North America than the Oldsmobile Diesel.

2009DJTDI Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I think you should start a new thread fellas.Not really helping with my original questions....but the engine is supplied by VW...2.0 litre turbo. That's why I bought the car but the other problems have been a nightmare. Should have stuck with my old vw golf estate. Mercer let me down once.
