Cos Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Driving along suddenly no power then came back again, quick glance at the dials and noticed oil pressure dropped below 20, engine management light on and ESP off (tried turning back on but no joy) Pulled into car park and shut engine off - checked levels of oil water braked fluid etc all ok, then took ages to start, limped home really slow cutting out a few times on the way back. Worried! Taking her in to the garage in the morning, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 probably low oil ... check level tomorrow before starting ... hopefully no damage done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Have the garage read the codes first and report back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsh07 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) The cutting out, difficulty starting happened to me. Turned out to be grubby throttle body. Give it a clean and see if that improves things, make sure you disconnect the battery or all plugs on the throttle body before moving the butterfly!

Cos Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 R/H Camshaft Sensor! Feels like a different car now, LRF4N = you got it! Garage surprised that the oil pressure gauge affected - a mystery, readings all OK now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Heard it too many times. Not fond memories from when it happened to me Glad it’s sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
