Title: few codes...few questions
Post by: mcgee9t2 on 03 July 2012, 20:31: firstly the codes

16500 - coolant sensor
16711 - knock sensor
16486 - maf
16497 - intake air temp sensor
19978 - imobiliser
16514 - lambada sensor
00533 - idle speed regulation

the codes are correct, are the sensors/problems correct to what info you guys have?

recon any of them could be linked i.e. i know my mafs buggerd could the idle speed regulation be down to that or recon its just a dirty tb.

coolant sensor... recon that could be coming up because i think i have a coolant leak in the pipe coming from the rad so have had the coolant light come on once or twice (imediately toped up with water) going to have a look this weekend for the leak...

intake air temp sensor, could that be cause of the knakerd maf?

knock sensor... what the hell is that :D hard to change/fix?

lambada sensor... heard of it before, never really looked into it so anyone care to shead some light on that one?

cheers. any info on any of the codes appreciated. ive cleared all codes so going to scan it again on friday and see whats there and try work out what work i need to do over the weekend.

Post by: pickles on 03 July 2012, 23:26: how olds the car and when was it last scanned before you had it scanned yourself, im assuming uv deleted the codes and the codes are still coming up, if not did all the codes come at once or over time.
