Reworx know their sh1t. You are in good hands !!

Agree, I had a similar problem to you, lumpy idle, smell of fuel (and exhaust gas abobe 3k and apparant lag with the second turbo. The guys at Reworx found that the Air pump + valve was knackered and the fuse removed to disable it within 2 mins of opening the hood. Replaiced pump and a session on the rollind road, and its running great.

Is that once the engine is warm? Yes, it should move about depending on revs. Actual readings are often a bit off as the sender unit is a bit \'suspect\' - mine is pretty much brand new and surprisingly enough, does agree (more or less) with the Defi in the car.

yes this is once engine is warm and coolant needle is up to half way.also noticed on first start each time there is a puff of smoke leaving the exhaust,hopefully is just where its been sat round so long so going to do an oil change.still dont no how to check coolant levels tho

OK, that\'s fine, as I said it\'s supposed to do that.

Again this isn\'t unusual. My FC fogs up the neighbourhood on startup after it\'s been driven hard; my FD burps out the occasional polite puff. Both have fairly new engines in them (<10k on each).

still dont no how to check coolant levels tho

Stand in front of the engine bay (with the bonnet open, obviously :Giggle) - to your left and to the front of the car there\'s a cap that looks like it\'s the filler cap for a windscreen washer reservoir. Pull that out and it has a long dipstick attached to it. You should see some water in the \'ladder\' at the bottom.

For topping up coolant I think there are several how-tos on this site.
