Hey all,
Have been having a few problems with my pug over the last month or so - most notably pulsating while idling, and some surging / bucking while accelerating. Recently stalled while going up a steep carpark, and has had a few stalls while in traffic too. Had it serviced, and they said it was the idle control valve which needed replacing, I had this done in Adelaide but I'm still having difficulties with driving rough and stalling. The mechanic (Lion Auto Blair Athol) has said that the O2 sensor needs replacing. My only problem is that I need to drive to Melbourne (I'm from Melbourne, and have been living in Adelaide for uni) on Tuesday, and the repair wouldn't be able to be done until Thursday.
Would the car be OK to drive the ~800km or so from Adelaide to Melbourne with a faulty O2 sensor? When back in Melbourne, I can get it replaced no problem, just unsure about the long drive.
