Engine Management Light after Cambelt Change - Alan_M - 02-03-2014

Just fired the car up after a cambelt change (cambelt, aux. pulleys & crank pulley) and have an engine management light up. Does the normal on at start-up then goes to extinguish very briefly once running, but comes on again.

Checked all connections that I removed, the air filter housing so TPS and MAF, but still there.

Anybody any obvious ideas, before I order a code reader?

What's a good reader....pp2000 or that Citroen one?

Have you knocked the cam position sensor? PP2000 and citroen lexia is the same peice of kit. A guy called Lee at PD developments sells them.

I'll have a look, thanks.

It starts on the button though, and 'appears' to idle fine but I assume this the 'limp' mode?

You'd know if it was limp mode - no power and won't rev over 2500rpm. A royal pita basically lol.

A code reader is a damn good investment for any HDi owner, just make sure you buy a good one, PP2000/Lexia are even better. Personally i'd get the code reader on it before trying anything else, could be something really simple.

Not that much of a pain, can keep a HDi under 2.5k easily! lol

Tbh, if you removed the battery, even that can log odd faults on the HDi.... I had one last year after a clutch change something to do with automatic transmission. lol Just cleared it and it was fine ever since...


RE: Engine Management Light after Cambelt Change - Alan_M - 05-03-2014

Borrowed a reader off a colleague....TPS fault. Think I reconnected the battery whilst it was still disconnected.

Anyway, cleared the fault and it appears to be OK now. Happy days!

was going to say its probably a sensor fault. Glad you got it sorted quickly!
