I must say I have only ever done oil changes before coming here. Got myself the haynes, read on the forum and built up the confidence to do some tinkering under the bonnet.
I found the haynes man like some forign language I cannot understand,very difficult to follow if at all. I stuck to the forum and went without hitch (appart from losing a bolt
)
Take it back and get the exhaust checked. Both codes are o2 sensor codes. Possibly not fitted back in properly or wires chopped or frayed. Or it doesn't like the new exhaust. Pretty sure it's related to your new exhaust.I must admit i said to the misses i thought it was the exhaust i'll get it checked out thanks
Last winter I had the same codes, 0170 and 0173, mechanic said he had seen one instance of these and had searched for the fault for days and had found that this was due to MAF
Were there any codes stored when you had the diagnostic done?dunno cant find the printout (may take it in again though)
not sure paper clip test will work on 2.6, try press brake, gas peddle to the floor, turn ignition fully on but do not fire engine, em light may flash out codes, depends on ecu.10 is zero, works on my 3.2, but need codes i would say.right did this and counted 10 1 7 3 10 1 7 10
