Alfresco sick.

[great white]

A couple of weeks back i had an issue starting the boat.

 

I thought it was sorted after i found a loose  connector. Next timeout same problem

 

Lots of research and things tried. With no luck

 

Time for a Volvo engineer and  Vodia software.

Diagnosed a dead Powertrain Control Unit. Eek.

 

We took mine to another boat at work and get the same fault code.

Had to order a replacement.  ££££

 

When looking into the fault we found a loose pump on a cracked bracket.

The part arrived yesterday. bugger wrong one, correct one came overnight from Belgium

 

On a scorching hot day, that was all put back together and painted up today.

Boats now back on her mooring, as the replacment PCU is on back order until August.

 

Now catching up with a few jobs at home, and getting the BBQ out.

 

Not a great time to have a dead engine. But thats life.

Sorry to hear that Charlie, always a worry when things go wrong, finding the problem then getting the parts. 
Then there’s parting with the cash, that’s a guts ache regards leadtime. 
Give me a shout if cabin fever is getting the better of you, always welcome on board. 👍

As Chris says what a ball ache.  If you need a trip out shout me but bring some numbers  as mine seem to have stopped working 😂
