And PRAY TELL
How did you clear the 0300?

And PRAY TELL
How did you clear the 0300?

It was a 4 pot Astra, as said I put a load of Redex through, but I beleive those engines do have their own problems.

[alunonhisown]

I have never even heard of Redex.
Some oil treatment as a guess.
But I have no clue.
I will go and Google it.

Petrol treatment, helps clean injectors

Di .. the point we are TRYING to make is that an 0300 is a bit of an odd code ... if you had a coil pack failure, or a single coil in the pack .. you would get specific codes for those cylinders ... 0301, 0303, 0305 for example.

Your error is non-specific .. or for want of a better word .. random ... which is why no-one can say .. "change this"...

Hence my suggestion of drying it out as moisture can cause odd things to occur.

A "proper" live data analysis MIGHT, just MIGHT indicate where the problem is by looking at the data and checking for anomolies.

I suppose you could chop a plug off & try it!

I was merely pointing out that I bought a coil pack to fix an 0300 code because symptoms seemed to suggest the coil pack might be fubar'd, but the coil pack is now sat in my garage after being on  the car for a few miles. It wasn't the coil pack at fault.

And I am fianlly seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
Where do I get a live data analysis done?

That's what a tech 2 does

On a Tech2.

Preferably one thats not going to charge you £45 per hour or more, as a dealser would, hence the suggestion of using one of those on here.

So, I shall ask a question I asked two days ago and was shot down, who or where is the nearest TechII to me?

The bloody car came from Hampshire. Sheesh.
So I reckon Birmingham, but is the car drivable to Birmingham?
If so I will PM birmingham chappie.
Thanks
Feel a lot happier now, but would preferred Scotland, get to try and look up some Kilts, I never get any luck
