Im sure this has been asked or is quite a common issue.
Basically i have 1.6 2011 caddy on 120k (only just got it)
Seems fine to start no smoke atall but once warm say just had a blast down motorway it will idle really rough between 800/1000 revs engine rocks and shakes the van also sounds down on a cylinder..
Have read plenty of injector issues, but van starts well and runs well without smoke upto the point it's properly warm.. no dash lights etc..
Wondering if it could be something else?
Any help appreciated..

Re: Rough idle and missfire help
It definitely sounds like an injector problem but it's very weird that it only raises its head when warm.
First point of interest would be the ECU fault codes and check of the injector correction values. If it's had a replacement injector and that has not been coded, these sort of symptoms result.

Hi did, if it was consistent I would have gone straight for injector myself.
Should vagcom bring up fault if injector is at fault?

Re: Rough idle and missfire help
Maybe not a fault code but there are lots of measurement values which are useful and will help pinpoint the problem source.

Re: Rough idle and missfire help
Would you happen to know how to read the values and what they should be ?

Re: Rough idle and missfire help
Did you manage to solve the rough idle issue? I currently have exactly the same issue as you.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Rough idle and missfire help
i have same problem
aa put new injector in and on idle when warm it sort of lumpy tick over
but drives ok
if he has coded it wrong would it cause this
but i do smell fuel unless something aint nipped up properly as diesel was squirting all over after he done so they came bk out and fixed the leak
but i do still smell diesel
and then i noticed the lumpy idle

Re: Rough idle and missfire help
I managed to solve the issue with my van.
I thought it was going to be injectors for sure so i removed the rocket cover to start with and tested each one with a multimeter and they all seemed fine and within tolerance. Be careful when removing each of the connectors to the injector, as these can be quite brittle given that they sit in oil all of their lives. Have your multimeter set on resistance and check each of the injectors. I cleaned the terminals with contact cleaner once complete and refitted.
Replaced rocket cover gasket and bolts once finished as the bolts are one time use. Torque spec for bolts are 10Nm and should be torqued in sequence.
Removed the old fuel filter and syphoned out all the old fuel of the filter housing and replaced the filter with OEM spec. I then dropped the oil and went with liquid moly 5w30. Van ran absolutely perfect after that.
Just for peace of mind i had a local mobile mechanic come out, he confirmed in my case that it wasn't injector related and plugged his Autel in to read values. No codes showed up either on the scan.
