Diagnostic results.. please explain!!

[dforder]

lookin to get myself a cheap vtr, stick it on my drive and correct whatever problems it has and enjoy the experience of making it my own.

one im looking at has a problem with engine management. i dont mind getting stuck in cus it will be a decent experience. it has the following results from a diagnostic test;

Diagnostics Test:

156 - O2 sensor circuit front

104 - Ignition Cylinder 1 & 4 circuit

106 - Ignition Cylinder 2 & 3 circuit



can anyone elaborate on that for this n00b? :A:

Bank 1 or Bank 2? / sensors.

Thanks for ur help!

well i recon i could wing it off the chap for about 200 notes cus it has no tax and mot. if its shagged after i try the coil pack and a few other bits then could just break it :geek:

no t&t and doesnt run right and you want to pay £200? unless its an 03/04 and clean as fuck id want it less then that tbh

good thing is, lambda sensors are cheap enough to pick up but first worth finding out which one, 2nd lambda could lead to the cat being faulty - which is not so cheap (althouh i have paid as little as £26 for a new one)

coilpacks are also another easy and cheap source. whilst your at it, for the sake of £1.50 each, id change the plugs too.

EDIT : just seen you have 02 sensor front, so pre cat.
this will be reading the readings direct from the engine - i would advise a change of plugs and coil pack and plug in again.

S reg vtr so yeh i see ur point tbh lol

[blackie_2k5]

tell him scrap value £140 and see where it lands you

you cant fail at £200 as it "should" break for more if its not a pig, but thats your time and storage expense...tell him that

he obvioulsy hasnt got time or knowledge or it wouldnt be fucked with no t&t

[Tontsy]

as above, offer him scrap value.

no T&T thats all its worth.
