Re: Minus batt

RS4 I agree with Richard in that MINUS 160mV is probably not excessive. It is MINUS because you have the Red Lead on the Battery Negative. The Fluke 88 a great Multimeter, has few advantages over the Picoscope. One being that the Pico cannot directly measure and confirm 60 ohms across a High Speed p...

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

Nice work. You corrected sensor ring location but didn't replace it? Do you have known good waveforms to share. Pressure transducer capture would bevery useful, Volrem Right. I did not replace the Sensor Ring. I had sufficient evidence to condemn it as faulty. I enquired with the Dealer previously ...

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

Congratulation STC You never gave up and had the right trust in your diagnostic gameplan was the correct way to solve this trouble car. This Volvo S40 had it all in terms of how to diagnose a car with a timing problem. There should be enough information to make a good case study on this Volvo S40 !...

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

A big thanks to: Pico for the Waveform Library Volrem & LucaB for the "Known Good" Captures they Uploaded Freddy for his Posts. The history to this car is still not clear but I do know that it has been around the houses and not run for at least 6 months. It has an Engine Rebuild, new Injectors, fuel...

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

I have to agree that the Magnetic Ring must be the Prime Suspect here. I can assure you that it would be difficult to fit it back to front or misalign it on the Crank. It locates on the woodruff key. Knowing that this engine has been dismantled I did look at these things very critically. I toyed wit...

These are the AD instructions that I have been following
D4204T Cam Timing Illustration.JPG
As you can, this is identical with Cam & Crank pinned by 5 & 6. Additionally the Key on the crank can be seen pointing directly north.

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

This one has stumped me, I'm absolutely lost !!! Pinned the Crank & Cam as per Autodata and it was spot on, got a experienced mechanic to double check it for me. Then I removed the belt, top and bottom pulleys, the magnetic wheel on the crank. All serviceable and fitted correctly except for the Cam ...

Re: More channels.

I have progressed with Pico from 2 channels to 4 channels and would like to progress to 6 Channels, 8 if that's all Pico offer. Rarely need more than two, but when we do - WE DO !! The latest 4xxx Automotive is on at £799 but there is no real incentive to replace my 3000 4 Channel. My money is bette...
