Title: 4 Codes all Non present?
Post by: fuz1903 on 13 April 2008, 21:33:47

Electronic throttle control malfunction. :-?
Cylinder 3 misfire. :o
02 sensor circuit. :-/
Random misfire.  :-?

Rocker cover gasket leaking, coil packs contaminated with oil. :'(

The man from Vauxhall say......Starting point replace Rocker cover gaskets, coil packs and plugs! :'( :'(

Also needs front brake pads and I think discs also, air con is blowing stale air out so also needs sorting.

What sort of damage pounds wise?  any guidance?

Step 1.  www.autobahnstormers.org - join for £20 obtain TradeClub card within a week.

Step 2. OOF shop.... purchase Cam cover kit - £64

Step 3. Vauxhall dealers use TC to buy an "axle set" of discs/pads - about £70 if memory is right

Step 4 .. Maintenance guides, read and print about 6 !!! - £2.00 :)

Total about £160 and allow 1 & 1/2  days ..  1 for the breathers/gaskets 1/2 for the discs/pads

HTH  :)

If the codes aren't present I'd ignore them for the moment. Could have been caused by someone firing it up with the connectors off. Sort out the cam cover gaskets, as said, claer the codes, maybe clean up the existing coil packs and see if anything comes back. If the misfire persists maybe the coil packs are knackered.
