The plugs have been replaced with NGK's and coil packs switched with ones from a smooth running 75. My first thought too. Thanks for the suggestions though. |

I have one of the cheap USB versions, plus a stand alone reader and recently added a VAG interface to work with TOAF.

I have this NT 200 one from Foxwell
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Foxwell-NT...YAAOSwRLZT~f-G Mid price at £38 and Works well for both my 75 v6 and wife's K series ZR but does not do ABS , airbag or service indicator resets. I just use it to diagnose faults and don't know about its live data stuff The supplier Gendan is a well known Diagnostics guru and supplies a range of associated stuff . Have a look at his site http://www.gendan.co.uk/ .

Result!
[QUOTE=PhilR75;2514519]If the engine management light flashes up a fault briefly, it would be worth finding someone with a T4 to look into what the failure information might be.
So a big thank-you to everyone who made suggestions. I was just about to buy a code reader when T4Phil came back to me and fitted in a T4 read for a very reasonable charge. I can't recommend him enough, a fountain of knowledge and besides finding the fault with his kit in about 60 seconds, spotted a couple of others things that need doing as preventative maintenance. What was the problem I hear you ask? Well I'm glad he came because I'd never have found it...the crank sensor was slightly loose!!! When we changed the clutch the old sensor had welded itself in and broke when we tried to remove it. We took the one off our donor car (the gift that keeps on giving!) and bolted it in. I think what happened is the corrosion in the receptor hole prevented the sensor pushing fully home. Then, when my son tightened the bolt he was careful not to exceed the mere 8nm that the little bolt needs. Over a few drives the corrosion wore away and the sensor was floating back and forth by about 0.5mm - just enough to make it intermittent! Would you believe it? Still, in checking all the other stuff we found that fuel leak and the dodgy gasket on the filter/pump so it was some strange form of preventative medicine too!! |
