omega 2.6 cxd estate 2001.
Help. just got hold of this car with a few problems.
1st rear diff noisey, swopped diff now nice and quiet.
2nd was a missfire on stratup from cold. turned out to be the spark plugs on nearside had never been changed but previous owner had bill from main stealers for plug change 6 months ago.
3rd prob in my engine light is on. got hold of a code reader and is showing p0170/p0173/p1300. suspect p1300 was plugs. reset all 3 but p0170/173 have come back after a few days. with a reader connected the long term fuel trim in +25% for both banks. reset again and the short term trim is around +3% at tickover and +18% at 2000rpm.
could this be an air leak on intake plennim thingy or would this only affect one bank. sorry for such a long question
