What state is the egr in?

When its stuck it throws a code of its own i recon.?

It depends how far open it it 

The real answer to the whole thread is to check the live data........

[spud1990]

i disconnected cam sensor no misfire but still come up with the same codes. so i changed the cam sensor and its still the same. im pretty sure i have found the cause. i will get Mrs T to upload picks later and c what you all think.

So thats:

Spark plugs.
coil pack.
fuel filter.
o2 sensors.
cam sensor.

Code reader with live data might be worth sticking on the shopping list.

Oh dear, better get that head off then.....does the timing chain rattle badly?

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

the sump was full of s..t. causing low oil pressure on tick over causing it to go into limp mode by shutting the injectors down giving the code multiple misfire. thats my theory. gonna clean all the oil ways and put it back together. fingers x it will cure it.

I fear you may need to cross more than that,

Low oil pressure won't result in the ecm shutting down cylinders.

What's the service history like?

The crudd is Mayo due to water mixing with the oil

[spud1990]

the engine sounded as they all do no chain rattle. had it turning over with rocker cover off and only small amounts of oil was coming  up.

I'm confused 

This thread was talking about a misfire and various sensors... then a load of pics of what looks to be gummed up valve cover and a bent oil filter (?).

Can someone explain what's happened

[Webby the Bear]

note to self... must type faster 

[spud1990]

its a customers car and shes had it a long time and never had it serviced i put the codes in google and had a read through. a bloke had the same problem. his engine looked just like this 1. he cleaned it all out got the oil flowing and problem was solved. just hope its the case 4 this. only time will tell

So, some oil contamination (water), this has clogged things up and the oil pump has collapsed the oil filter its so clogged.

Oil filters normally collapse due to crudd and not Mayo hence question about service history

[spud1990]

the oil filter was breaking up. blocking the engine. im trying 2 fix the misfire this could help.

And the customers stupidity has come home to roost. 

Servicing as we all know is a major requirement for valid reasons with the consequences being very serious.

The issue I have is that the question regarding where the water has come from remains unanswered and if it was oil starvation then it would have been noisy (top end, chain rattle, big ends) plus oil starvation won't cause a miss fire.....so keep us posted
