MIL Code P0138

Hi A bit of give and take here.........I have bought an OBDII/CANBUS reader which has read/reset the codes from my 2004 S2 IIIS. If there is anyone in the Aberdeen area that would like me to try and read the codes on their cars I'd be happy to arrange to meet them and give it a go. Feel free to PM m...

Hi Frequently there are references on here to locating a code reader to diagnose the cause of a MIL light, in view of this I 'Ebayed' diagnostic code readers and was surprised to see they were available rather cheaply. Would any code reader be suitable or are there specific requirements? Are there c...

Re: Idle Air Conrol Valve Modification

Idle Air Conrol Valve Modification

Hi Whilst reading through this section of the forum I noticed that several people recommended periodically cleaning the IACV so as I was in the area, (trying to fix my no cranking S2 K series), I decided it could do no harm to clean mine.

Should Have Joined Years Ago!!

Hi

I've owned an S2 111S for the last four years and enjoyed every minute of it, (well almost), however it wasn't until I encountered my first real problem that I realised what a wealth of information there was on this forum. I think I'll be a regular user from now on :D, brilliant forum!

The fuel pump was priming but no starter crank. The RAC jumped the leads at the starter and it ran fine, got me home but still refuses t...
