Other end
-
Just looking around the engine and notice that the egr valve doesn't have clips holding the pipes on. Are they supposed to? The other end does? Must have been taken off to replace the egr valve that was potentially one of the faults here.

I'm having a hard time decifiering that pdf. I was going to check a common earth point between the error codes I have got. Can anyone read that diagram? Thanks as always
-
just an idea, since i have multiple codes that suggest open or short to ground.. is there any common earth points i can check to see if they are the problem. concentrating on each fault code and chasing the wire doesn't seem a good idea if they all are saying short to ground???? i took the battery off last night, and the battery tray. all looks good under it, so damp or rust. checkled the large earth cable that goes on the battery and at the metal work all looks good. so it cant be that. just an idea is there any other common earth/ground points?
-
Thanks. I will see what happens tomorrow. I'll tape some needles on my probe. But I have very small cable ties too.
-
Thanks for that I'll bear that in mind but just incase you didn't understand me, 1) You didn't answer my question. Which tape? 2) I have never touched electrics before so unsure of the dangers of touching the battery for example 3) I'm testing the ECU socket so not idea about the "back of the pins"?????? Appreciate the help. I will get to the bottom of this
-
im sorry but if you cant afford to insure it correctly, maybe you should forget it. Your essentially happy with driving around un-insured??
-
wow looks interesting. im local haha
-
should i use electrical tape of celotape haha! really dont want to die
-
This is what is stopping me checking the rest of the connections on the ECU - my probes are too thick... i need some needle like ones
-
Ok I am trying to stick my multi meter into the ECU but the prongs are too thick. Any suggestions?? Thanks
-
Ok so ECU out, negative off. Stick my red probe into the 1 socket and then the black into the ecu part 1 and 2 and I'm getting 0.04 ohms. Pic attached to make sure I'm doing this right.
-
Awesome thanks
-
Lastly, do I need ignition on or off for this
-
Ok so I will try contact 1 and socket 1 Then I try contact 1 and socket 2.. That I can do. I will test tomorrow then.
-
Ok sorry for the idocy but how can I test this??? I use my red probe on the contact 1 of the egr connection, and then stick my black probe into the ECU area on socket 1+2? Am I being dumb here ??? How can I do 1 + 2 at the same time in the ECU ha I must be missing a few brain cells
-
Just some more background. The parts numbered in my pic have been replaced with new ones. Nice and shiney so that gives me some confidence in the hardware.

I'm in trowbridge so not far from the M4

I got a picture of my bay below. Not sure where the parts are your referring to. I know this is frustrating for you as it is for me! Haha! Are you able to give me a hand over what's app or similar? Gladly pay in beer tokens 😊
-
The pdf doesn't work. Not sure what to do with the second tests either ðŸ˜
-
So I think I did it right this time. 11.9v used the red on part 1 and the black on the negative for the battery? Used the setting below on my multi meter to also test the battery and it was 12.5v
-
So the first test was stick it in the egr valve. Now this registerd 15.9 ohms. The second test of that apparently was 5V???? I'm not entirely happy I did it right, I stuck the red lead from my machine onto the contact 1, and the black lead from my machine at the battery bottom there's a bolt. That's where 5v got from with the ignition on???
-
I have read about the firing order could be wrong? Can the wires to the injectors be around the wrong way. I had a similar situation when sticking HT leads in the wrong order??? Sound plausible?
-
I have the relay on order so awaiting delivery, for that. Im very new to these cars and electrics. I'll have to Google that.
