paper clip test
« on: 30 April 2010, 10:00:52 »
Hi, being a newbie and loving my 157,000-no problems- v_reg-2.5 omega (until now), i was wondering if anyone can show me a link to the famous 'paper-clip' code test? The orange managentment light has just come on and it's a tiny bit sluggish now. The dealer wants £100 just to give me a code which i find absolutely disgusting.  :-/

Telltale you can ignore, it's a warning that the bulb you watched flash isn't working ;D ;D

Check the plug for injector 2 is clean, dry and fully pushed home. :y

82   Injector Valve 2 Voltage Low

135   Telltale (Checklight) Voltage Low

82 is the key one, have you had any work done on the car recently?

Check the plug to the injector it self and also check the wiring room for the injector setup multiplug at the back of the passenger cylinder head for wiring damage

Idle Control Valve, Don't know why it'd whine on start up though, it's a motor driven valve that regulates air around the throttle valve.
