Need help to know what these fault codes are, PO727, P1700, P0700, they were read from the engine ECM but they relate I think to the auto box. The problem I'm having is that the car starts up in limp mode on a regular basis. The only way of overcoming the limp mode is to stop & restart the engine. When it starts up in limp mode the light with a car & a spanner through it comes on, when it's not in limp mode the light does not come on. The fault light comes on when the engine does not start cleanly & turns over lazily & the auto box goes into limp mode. The cam sensor has been replaced by one from Quinton Hazell. The car is an X reg 2.2 petrol auto & has done 145k miles. There is a slight blow from the exhaust manifold I don't know if this is affecting the start up & hence causing the limp mode problems.

0700.......autobox "malfunction"
0727.......engine speed circuit No Signal
1700.......request from autobox to illuminate EML
If cam sensor was not genuine, purchased from Vauxhall/Opel, strong possibility that is your problem especially with haphazard starting
-
The cam sensor was a Siemens. You still think it could cause the problem?

This item, from a company called Meat and Doria, could well contain a Bosch sensor in it, however I cannot tell you this for certain. It would be however up to the standards and specifications as laid down by GM.
robert:
OK thanks.
So it`s not a genuine part, and if you read their FAQ you will find

Think that answers your question as to whether you have a genuine cam sensor. :)
