Engine fault! Reduced power

Looking at the original error codes:

It think the bottom 3 are my fault: (bottom up):

1. I upgraded the sat nav maps and it had to do a full reset after that.
2. When I was fitting my dash cam, a cloth got jammed in the sat nav screen as it was going down and it jammed. Wouldn't work until the next day!
3. When fitting the dash cam I took the panel off on passenger side which holds the airbag deactivation switch. I must've done something when it was hanging loose. Can't remember if I took it off or not.

Looking at the top 3, the top one is at 51230 miles and the second is at 51295 miles (65 miles different), so I think they are linked as I would've done over 90 miles since the service, but the 3rd one is at 51061 miles, so might not be linked. The temp gauge is working.

But the sequence of events suggested that it had ... and it did. :)

It is annoying, especially being a main dealer, but I guess anyone can make a mistake...it just always seems to be me that has the consequences!

Thinking about it...they didn't even say sorry! They weren't even going to tell me what it was! She tried to read the engineer's notes on the back of the job sheet, checked her computer then put the job sheet in the folder and said "i'll just get your keys". I had to ask what it was at which point she told me and the other service lady walked by (she knows the issues I've had with the car) and said it was due to them knocking a pipe or hose lose/off when they serviced it, saying it wasn't the car (meaning it wasn't that something had broken on the car).

They probably just nudged it or something and it was lose enough to work free over the following week...especially with the crap roads and pop holes round here!

Haven't checked my dash cam yet, it only records when the engine is on, but it is interesting to see and hear some of what goes on.

Glad you got it sorted, regardless of how it was caused :)

Mine was fixed too :) :thumbsup:

Roof failure - I had the hydraulic harness replaced (£££). So nice to be able to put the roof down again!!

Glad its fixed. Hope it didnt hurt the pocket too much. Mines under AUC warranty so I wasn’t worried about any costs, but was concerned it was knackered!

Had my roof down every journey for the past 2 or 3 weeks, love it! (I have to wear a hat though to stop my head burning in the sun...hair a bit scarse up there!)

Unfortunately the cost hurt quite a bit - still, it's worth it to be able to get the roof down again. I need to remember to wear my cap for the same reasons!
