hi,
This morning had the EML flash at me then go constant and the car was running like a bag of old nails, anyway did pedal trick to collect fault codes and the normal 0420,0430 popped up along with 0300 and 0304, so guess i need to change the coil pack on bank 2,4,6 and i guess thats what is causing the random misfire fault code (0300) and the running lumpy like its on five cylinders, I have only in the last few months changed 1,3,5... due to a similar problem but with bank 3.
The only code that came up that I cant work out is 0115 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input or could be
P0115 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input
what is it, how do i fix it, where do i start ???? Any ideas ???
Cheers
Steve

Its probably an old fault code the ecu is digging up,which just needs clearing,as vauxhalls like to play these games sometimes. ::) ;)

Right 0300 and 0304.... remove the 246 coil pack, check the centre rubber for oil, splits or white scorching and check the plug wells for oil etc. A misfire like that is normally caused either bu a fluid letting the spark escape or a split in the boot doing the same.
If you find it is split then just as a stop gap wrap a couple of turns of insulation tape over the cracked section and that'll stop the misfire.

Any other thoughts on code p0115 ?

Engine coolant temp sensor on the rear face of the engine between heads, Single connector
-
would this sensor be the cause of the check coolant message on the display screen or the need to change the expansion tank for the sensor inside ?

No, ECT sends temp info to the ECU. "Check coolant" relates to sensor in expansion tank. If level is OK, odds on the sensor is breaked

As i had suspected cheers Rob will sort out new expansion tank after I have sorted the misfire !!!
