scanned my  agu 20v t   about 2 weeks ago and got 5 fault codes   i diddent know if any was old so erased them all so i knew if any come now they will be genuine faults
 and so ...... here we go  i  remember these 2 from last time #

16500  - engine coolant tempreture circuit-range/performance problem   
00515  -camshaft position sensor (hallefect sensor) - no signal (g4) check cmp , or if ok replace distributor


this is what the fault code book says

16500 - does any1 think this could be the thermastat ?   its had a new temp sensor !
