Read the codes before you even think about sourcing parts!

Hi Buddies,
Interestingly the paperclip test was so cool to do. I was really astonished as the local mechanics looked at me as though i was some genius.
All the same please find the results.

these were what i could read. Hope i am half way.
Thanks

Crank sensor certainly not good. knock sensors (16,17), cts....  :-/

Has drastic work been done, wondering if bits not plugged in right?

Double check crank sensor is plugged in properly, if it is, replace, then see where we go from there.

I am sort of getting to be a mechanic. When i got to the garage the mechanic had loosen the front end of the engine.
That is the radiator and you can see the belts. The timing belt was in place but he loosened the drive belt.
I did not start the car but just turned the switch onn and did the test.
I will spend the whole day tomorrow to have him put all back. there was a few splash of oil around where the belts were. I will get him to wash off all the oil.
Since i bought the vehicle 6 months back there has not been any servicing.These vehicles come from Europe and the dealers just sell.
I will clean the entire front and replace then do the test again.

I will also get to the crank sensor and check if wires are intact as i just learn wires are around hot surface areas. Think i am enjoying this now.
