Re: PicoScope 4425A with xentry scope software

Hi, nothing more than I'm curious. It is essentially the same product Branded as Xentry. A great complement to PICO that Mercedes and other Prestige Manufacturers choose Pico as the supplier for their Scope and Software. I guess the will lock their software to use only the Xentry product on their p...

MMT Transmission Issue P0900

My car is a Peugeot 107 but I believe these are the same system in the Toyota Aygo, & Citroen C1. I have an ongoing issue with this, P0900 is Clutch Actuator Circuit. When the car first came to me it would start but would not select any gears. I tested the Clutch Actuator and was not able to fault i...

2012 VW Tiguan 1.6 Tdi CAYC Engine

This car will intermittently not crank.

It has Start Stop

Suprising thing is that it has 2 starter motor Relays in Series ! I would love to know why ?

I have removed the covers from both relays and it will crank and start if I hold both relays in by hand.

Any ideas anyone ?

Re: Vw, 1.8TSI (CDA) P0011, double compression tower

Exhaust camshaft advanced 3-4 teeth. Just looked at this again & I think you are Spot on !! Exhaust Cam Advanced Suspect Chain Slipped.jpg I too thought a spun cam lobe (if it has hollow camshafts) but being a 16v 2 cams would have to slip exactly the same amount ?? Add to that you say you get the ...

Re: Piezo injector current - Bad ECU or...

PicoWight An ECU swap is not that cheap, even if a used one will take programming. I'm not so sure you can programme a used ecu to that in the conventional way ? However a used unit can be cloned. A search on google or ebay will reveal that there are ecu sellers that will do that for you if you send...

Re: Vauxhall Opel Astra 2.0 Diesel 2012

Are you thinking 1800 bar is too low? I'd have thought that was enough to run. That drop in fuel pressure, is that after it dies or before? I'm thinking 1800 bar is way too much at idle, enough to stop the engine for safety reasons. I'm guessing it may continue to rise un controlled. I would expect...

Re: Vauxhall Opel Astra 2.0 Diesel 2012

I suspect if you check the wiring diagram you should be able to give a (fused!) 12v to that line and expect to see the car run. The ECU is shutting it down when it realises that it can not control the fuel pressure. Also the ECU is trying to control the IMV, I added a maths channel for the -ve duty...
