Re: Opel Zafira B 1.8 Z18XER stall after start or no crank

Another way to diagnose these Hybrid ECU's failing is to grab the multiplug(s) and stress them up and down - you can make the fault codes come and go at your pleasure.

Re: HVAC RMS

if you will recover 0ml then you must add 10 ml at refill That would be fine if you can be certain of 2 things 1. The Vehicle Manufacturer filled it correctly in the Plant - Which some don't !!!

Re: HVAC RMS

With regard to adding oil to an AC system the one and only right way is to pull it apart, wash it out (flush it) then add the correct amount. Period !!! These machines will not suck it out, vacuum will not boil it off. Anything you do other than the above will always be a compromise. At the prices b...

Re: 2006 Jaguar S Type HVAC.

RYM Thanks good information. I can now ignore that code and be confident of the repair. It seems that this car was born and will die with that fault code.
