Title: Spanner light on.....again
Post by: Terbs on 07 March 2019, 11:31:30

Hi all,
On October 2016, I posted here about spanner light being on. James changed the gearbox oil, then said camcovers were leaking (due to the smell). Changed these, and all has been well since. No codes.
Yesterday Swmbo came back to say spanner light was on, and poor acceleration, I assume limp mode. When she stopped at the son's, when the car was started , she came home , no light, and car running well. Just did a pedal test....exactly the same codes as last time, which are...1700, 0500,0500
The car seems to stink again, wondering if camcovers have let go. Surely the gearbox oil should be ok !!! Could the camcovers leak over something and cause the codes. I know the stem seals are poor, as Brackley gets a blue cloud when I start up, but it soon stops.
If you pick this up, TB, any chance of a Tech 2 on the gearbox etc.
I have an MOT due in four weeks.
TIA chaps.
