Cap in hand - anyone local in the North-West??
« on: 21 December 2008, 00:17:33 »
Hi Folks,

Basically, long story short...

Getting codes 0420 and 0430, but have a broken tube on breather box.  Have just got a new breather box today, and fitting it tomorrow.  By some kind of miraculous fluke, it may be that what's causing the error code (poss over-fuelling because of vac leak?  :-/ )

And I've noticed today that there's quite a bit of seapage from the cam-cover area  >:(.

I've gone to clean the breathers out, but can't see where the breather body is...  :-/

So my cap-in-hand question is 3-fold...

1 - anyone near me got a cheapo Tech2 to reset the codes to see if it was the knackard breather box causing the problem?

2 - after xmas, I will be looking at getting the cam-cover gaskets sorted.  Again, anybody local willing to give a lending hand?  I've seen the "how-to" guides, but can get quite spanner-shy/overfaced sometimes...  :-[

3 - Probably to be covered as part as Number 2 really...

As a motivator, there would be plenty of tea and/or homebrew (depending on your beverage of choice!) on tap  :y

Cheers  :y

Yep - I have the black breather box in me wardrobe as I type! (2nd hose in  from left on mine has snapped off, so ordered a 2nd hand un of Fleabay)

But it's the main breather box I can't locate...
