Hello everybody!
I'm new here and as I was reading some q&a, I found this very useful so wanted to post my problem too hoping to get some answers that would eventually solve my problem myself (with your help) as I don't trust so much "specialists" around here. They try only to get from you whatever you can spend and also remove good parts of the car to resell them to you or someone else later...
Long story short: my w169 (manyal transmission)was lpg converted (landi renzo) before I bought it. It has problems running on lpg if on electrical load ( other devices are turned on at the same time). It has voltage drop on petrol too but it runs faily well (perhaps the lpg system is more sensitive or requires more energy).
Actual electrical problems: side mirrors won't regulate, initially it was just the right side one; srs light stays on (the previous owner said it stayed on after he had the passenger seat removed); petrol gauge works occassionally; reverse gear lamp works occassionally too; radio goes from cd to fm; when I try to close the windows, specially the rear right, they sometimes go back down to e certain point by themselves; sometimes I get on the warning screen that the right mirror turn signal is not working but as I turn it on and go check, it works fine. All this happens in both petrol or lpg.
From more than a month I keep the voltage on my screen to check it all the time. When voltage drops suddenly to about 13v or less the lpg system will make the car shake a lot (misfire).
When back to petrol it won't feel it so much.
Running the car on petrol only, I have put it on load thinking that the problem would be only from the lpg but when I turn on the ac and rear windshield heater the voltage goes to 12.8-13.0 v. Local "specialists" tell me that this is normal even though I know this is not from reading your helpful answers.
From what I have read till now It can be the srs connector under the passenger seat or a relay/ sam promblem; perhaps pins need to be cleaned or so. Anyway I won't make any move without getting you very helpful opinion first.
I can add additional information if it's needed.
Heartfelt thank you in advance!
Stay healthy and take care!
