Re: Citroen C3 cam vs crank fault engine timing is GOOD

Cam v crank ratio is fine as it has started and run from Cold and restarted whilst cold with no problems and no fault codes. There is only ever 2 fault codes being stored ones mentioned above. If you leave it to power down completely and then try a hot restart you get a little cough as the ECU tries...

Re: Citroen C3 cam vs crank fault engine timing is GOOD

That doesn't explain why it won't start and logs cam crank correlation faults during a crank no start and can also be seen on oscilloscope whilst cranking an out of time inlet camshaft. The VVT is not operational whilst cranking and I would expect an engine that has no oil in it at all to still fire...

Re: Citroen C3 cam vs crank fault engine timing is GOOD

Thankyou for the reply but even if the valve tronic system is causing the peak compression to change explain how the cam v crank is changing at exactly the same time as this should have no effect on the cam timing? I can see the Inlet cam v exhaust cam on cam signals shifting to advanced in time and...

Re: Citroen C3 cam vs crank fault engine timing is GOOD

In pic attached the peak compression on the left is high and the cam v crank is off then the engine is stopped in the middle and then restarted and it returns to idle with a lower peak compression and a cam v crank that is now good prooving beyond all doubt that the mechanical timing is changing the...

Re: Diesel In cylinder pressure HELP

When i say it runs even on all cylinders i mean it idles with no abnormal behaviour it pulls away with out any misfires all 4 cylinders are working evenly. I have pinned the cambelt up with timing tools. We do not have the timing tools to pin both camshafts that Is why the in cylinder pressure trans...

Re: Diesel In cylinder pressure HELP

Thanks for the replys guys. The engine runs evenly on four cylinders so unless all 4 exhaust valves are leaking evenly i don't think that can be the problem. It lacks power in the lower rev range (Until the turbo kicks in) it fails a VE test at only 60per cent all the way through the rev range. Ever...

Logs crankshaft sensor code P0335 whilst cranking (fault code/light comes on whilst or directly after cranking). I have 1 channel on one of the crank signal wires and another channel on the ot...
