Technical Engine Light and Fault Codes - Help!

Without feedback we have no way of knowing what's going on





You can randomly change parts and hope you hit the correct part quickly but if you guess wrong it can get expensive

Here is an example of a 500 which had

Changing to new:
-Battery (Varta Silver)
-Spark plugs (bosch iridium)
-Temp and Press sensor on the intake (new bosch installed)
-Water temp sensor (new delphi installed)
-Crank and cam shaft position sensors (new bosch installed)
-Installed new fuel pump assembly

None of which solved the problem

Post 2 give some of the possibilities

O2 SENSOR HEATER OPERATION
EVAP PURGE SOLENOID OPERATION
O2 SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
O2 SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT
O2 SENSOR
MAP SENSOR
ECT SENSOR
ENGINE MECHANICAL
FUEL FILTER/PRESSURE REGULATOR
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)


Photo of all the plugs in the cylinder order would be helpful, is one injector leaking, I don't know from here

Pull the MAP and photo the end, is it coved a oil mist

We don't even know what type of engine management system we have yet, 1.2 dynamic could be cable or flyby wire

Take a picture of the throttle body

Any more water rushing sounds

Water sounds were back this morning. I will try and get some photos in the next week if I can. Lots going on right now and car playing up is one I can't really afford, either financially or time wise.

 

[The Panda Nut]

We rebled the system today and only coolant came out. As the sloshing is intermittent

We re-bled.the system this morning after doing the MAP sensor (while we were.tinkering). All that came.out was coolant, no bubbles. The sensor was.a bit oily and the original.one so probably worth changing.

The water sounds.more.like it's trapped somewhere and sloshing about. It's odd as I can't see any anywhere but will try and go round the drain holes at the weekend and check them all.

Im afraid I had to remove the rad cap, and blow into it to pressureise the rad. Then open the bleed screw and keep going till the airstopped coming out. Crude but (finally) affetive. We have 4 Pandas some but not all are a massive pain to bleed the air from. One took monthsand many attemps to bleed before tthe level stabilised. Keep trying after the cat is stood for a while and you will get there.

Grab the duck bills and wiggle them out of the car. Hose the scuttle and remove any debris. Refit the duckbills frim under the bonnet. (Another pain but straightforward)
