Is it easily identifiable to find the wiring to check?

These were the codes

P0440, P0302, P0301 and P1341

Interesting...one of the codes was for tank vent system, is that the aos? the car has been running absolutely fine. After I cleared the codes I started it up and put it in the garage, it wasn't running great when I switched it off but I haven't started it again for fear of doing damage.

So maybe onto ebay at £2k starting?

So circa £1-1.5k?

Hi all, sounds like my car has a variocam solenoid or actuator issue and it's going to cost more than I can spare at the moment. Can you give me an idea of value and if ebay would be the best option.

2000 W reg 2.7 manual, 99k miles, black with 18" 5 spoke alloys, interior is nice. Not a massive amount of history but had a clutch about 30k ago and I serviced it when I bought it 2 years ago. I have done 3k since I got it.

Got home yesterday and the cel came on and the codes suggest the above issue as Trooper has suggested.

Cant say how gutted i feel at this.

Even just a ballpark would help for now.

Also belatedly fitted a Christmas present The Better ½ bought for it.  A 986 with puddle lights!!

(and my 2001 MY door cards with courtesy lights, not normally seen on a 2000 car)

 

 

Where did she get them? I fancy these for mine.

E6 I think it was, the one for air conditioning apparently 

I found a blown fuse, replaced it and tried my old unit and it worked. I have asked the ebay seller for a refund now as the unit is the issue. Thanks BBB for getting back to me.

Odd that it was working and then when I unplugged it and put it back it has stopped.

I have just checked d6 and e7 fuses and they are fine. I don't understand how to check for 12v?

Guys, I took the old climate/heater control out to replace it with a 2nd hand part from ebay. When I plugged the new one in and put ignition on nothing happened. So I tried the old one again and nothing is happening with that now either. I was changing it as the screen wS knackered. I have only removed the 4 plugs from the back of it, have I done something wrong?

Is there a how to for the indicator not cancelling fix?

Do you have to go to the dealership to register or can a phone call sort it?

Can you tell me where that valve is?

Just re-insured my 2000 2.7 for £156 with Carole Nash. Was over £300 last year but the car is now in the garage. I'm 50 with zero ncb as I have been a company car driver for years and last years insurance was a classic car policy.

Did you guys make your own pipes? I would need to buy them from a factor's.

Had my car mot'd and advisories for corroded front and rear brake pipes were noted. Has anyone replaced these themselves and is it a easy enough job on the driveway? I have done brake pipes before on other cars years ago and it didn't seem too terrible.

Would have thought that would have shown up on the scanner. Mine is a 2000, do you know if that has 2 or 4?

Car starts and runs fine burt at tickover the revs fluctuate a little bit, maybe less than 100rpm but it is noticeable. I cleaned the old maf when this issue was worse and it got to this point. I have now replaced that maf with a bosch part and it's still the same. The scanner doesn't highlight anything. Is it now likely to be coil packs?

I agree, 29 looks really low for the front, I thought they looked flatish.

What pressures are recommended for 18s on a 986 guys? Purely road use.

Thank you

Do you have a link to them ad I can't find them for a 986?

I had Autoaid earlier this year and scrapped them when they wouldn't attend my car as it was over 15 years old. I joined AA and they attended no problem.
