I've got a 2004 VZ wagon. 175kw and Auto.
I've had some intermittent missing in the last couple of weeks, which has become almost all-the-time.
On start, I get the beeps and 'Check Powertrain message'
I've changed plugs, all six coilpacks again (and manifold gaskets, naturally), I've done a compression test and it's remarkably good.
With the ODBII reader I have I cant see any codes.
I've got it booked in tomorrow morning to the local dealer to pull the codes for me.
Are there any known, probable causes that people have come up against before?
This aside, I've had the car for 3 and a half years and it's been fantastic. It has just under 180k on it. Other than replacing a radiator and a dead coilpack (replaced all six at that point anyway) just after I got it, it's been faultless.
It's stock mechanically and just has a set of King Springs in it, with short monroe front struts and (new when fitted) FE2 rear shocks.
The current issue is a bit annoying as I'd planned to trade it in. I've bought a new car (VE) now, so will sell privately once the current issue is sorted.
Thanks in advance!
