hi all, newbie here... and really need some advice please.
my partners 1.8 tino (54 plate) has developed a problem which local indy's seem unable to diagnose. basically in the last week the car won't rev past about 2500rpm. it has been burning loads of oil recently although it does not smoke. it will start and idle ok but wont drive over approx. 25 mph and really struggles on any kind of incline. there is no EM light on. Its been to garage who have hinted at VVT issue, timing chain issue, sticking valves, MAF, cam sensor etc etc.
has anybody else had these symptoms who could offer advice. thank you all.
