Gazzuzz,mayor2013,siena Your Advice Needed by lukman22: 8:36am On Jun 16, 2016 |
Please i need advice on how to go around this code on my car. I have 2006 Passat 2.0TFSI i bought as Toks not too long ago,but did not scan it prior to making the payment.The dashboard was clean with no code display,Engine sound cool and i only used a full tank (60L)+20L( toped up at Ihiala Anambra state) of fuel driving the car from Cotonu to Port Harcourt city ( Good fuel economy). My problem is i recently scanned the car and this code come up: Catalyst System; Bank 1 P0420 - 002 - Efficiency Below Threshold - MIL ON 008801 - Boost Pressure Control Valve (N249) P2261 - 008 - Mechanical Malfunction - Intermittent I cleared the code and P2261 never came back, but P0420 still persist. From the search i did online, it should be consuming fuel but am yet to notice that on highway drive.Not sure of City driving. 15L fuel last about 4 days driving within city ( tro and fro from work daily of about 2 hour both including heavy traffic). My Question is: 1. Is the fuel consumption Ok? 2. Is there a way to solve the issue with the catalyst system? Thanks Guys in advance |

Please, while considering the above request, also take a look at this. I own a Honda accord 2009 model. My battery got drained and I had to borrow another to start the car, then placed mine back while the engine was running (not jump starting). Two to three days later, the Vehicle Stability Assistance (VSA) and hand break light came up on the instrument cluster. The car is moving fine, no dragging issue, as it should be if the hand break was on. I have had d light cleared/Deleted but they came back on about 2hours later. Please, the good people and car experts here, what could be the problem and its implications, and should be my fear? HELP!!!!! |

lukman2246618r520: Revert to your owners manual for fuel MPG. That would tell you what your car's fuel consumptionn rate should be both for city driving and highway driving. As for your first fault error it means your catalytic converter located up stream is detoirating or has detoirated which ever the case may be. It needs to be replaced. I hope yours hasnt been stolen. Depending on the design of yours would be determine if the exhaust needs to be taken out or not for a visibility check As for your second fault error. Boost pressure solenoid valve. That soleniod or sensor which ever yours is hardly spoils check connection. Could be unplugged. If spoilt replaces. This helps regulate air intake which inturns is used to actual fuel injection. You could have a case of misfire if bad or your car would stall as well . Location should be along vacuum hose that goes from your airfilter box into throttle body or located on the inlet manifold. Note- location might not be for your ride. |

papiTwist: Never try what you just did. You would fry up your ecu that way by removing your battery while your car is running. If your vehicle stability assist( VSA) light was illuminated. Run a scan first and come back here and post fault error result. Then we take it up from there, if you are in lagos call 08165520837 or 08156087872. To get a free scan. Would end by tomorrow 4pm. Cheers |

mayor2013: I had d car scanned, and it showed brake fluid switch problem. When d mechanic checked, he discovered that the break fluid was very low. He added break fluid and the VSA and hand brake warning light disappeared. Thanks for your advice. |
Re: Gazzuzz,mayor2013,siena Your Advice Needed by leuelliot(m): 7:14pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
papiTwist: I recon it's time for new brake pads. Check the wear level on them, also check for leaks on the line. |

papiTwist: Good it's done now. I was about telling you that. Meanwhile, check for leaks along the brake lines and also check if your brake pad is still okay. These are the two things that can make your brake fluid go down. |
Re: Gazzuzz,mayor2013,siena Your Advice Needed by lukman22: 8:36am On Jun 18, 2016 |
LOL. 20L is not acceptable in like situation as mine,except if you are driving V8++ ![]() leuelliot: |

[quote author=Ceeholdings post=46683554][/quote] What do you mean by fry up ecu? His alternator is not working? If his alternator is working then no cause for alarm. If not the car will just go off. |

I nid u best advise and my story is detailed and long,pls read..... Am currently using a Nissan Quest 2005 model with V6 3.5 engine I just started using it last 1month after the increase of fuel in 9ja @145 I was shocked dat I use N6100 in total from Canaanland church,sango otta to ojudu berger-lekki and back to canaanland.....1st I left canaanland side Buyin fuel N4000 to berger via agege - Omole Phase 1 estate early hours 5am with no traffic and den to Lekki 1st toll gate Shoprite palms mall with Ac with slight traffic on third mainland bridge,wen I finish from lekki,as I was approaching 3rd mainland bridges...my fuel light turn on...N4k gone wit shock....i quick did a U turn and got N1500 on awolowo way Ikoyi and continue ma trip back....when I got to agege again,my fuel light turned on again,i got fuel again this time N600 (beating al d traffic from lekki with short cuts via western avenue to ojuelegba and den to ilasa-isolo to oshodi) When I got to canaanland my fuel light turned on total N6100.....pls note that I prefer to buy fuel at major NNPC, MOBIL, TOTAL and Forte and Oando The question now is....i am so sure my car is drinking fuel even if my Mech said it's normal since the price of fuel is now N145 cos I normally use N3k to lekki or chevron ajah and back before....
