  1. Well the coil packs were changed on bank 1 (a real pain) and after having now completed about 100 miles with no recurrence of the misfire then I can safely say that the problem has been eradicated. I really hope that this post helps others that find themselves in this situation.
  2. When I had my coils changed last time it was all bank 2. The codes this time point to bank 1 so I'm hoping that changing them on bank 1 will resolve the issue.....
  3. Changed the oil and filters today but still had the misfire. Changing the coil packs on that side tomorrow (changed the other side 18 months ago after a mnisfire following replacing the coolant pipes for metal versions following a leak!). Crossing my fingers!!
  4. There are definitely no other codes. I saw him print them off and this was the only one. There is no engine light on currently since it was cleared the last time the codes were pulled. My initial thoughts on the possible causes are: - Dirt in oil circuit - first thing to do is an oil and filter change - Sealing strips on inlet camshaft adjuster faulty - assume these would be changed if the cam adjuster was replaced? - Oil pressure too low - Would you not have a fault code if the oil pressure was low enough to cause problems for any components? - Mechanical fault in inlet camshaft adjuster - this is what has been diagnosed by the specialist. - Solenoid hydraulic valve faulty - As this has an electrical circuit, any change in resistance should throw a code straight away? Pretty sure that there is a separate code for when this is faulty? Many thanks for your help on this. :help:
  5. The code is P0011 "a camshaft position timing over advanced or system performance B1" I would stress that the misefire is very intermittent and not always there. i.e. It hasn't misfired today at all.
  6. Ok, I'll take the car back in to get the codes read and report back.... :drive:
  7. Have contacted the garage for the codes but they didn't keep a record of them. However, they guy said that it came up with a description of "Over advanced timing on bank 1"? When the car had a misfire about 18 months ago it was coil packs that were changed (on bank 2) so that's the first thing I thought of but this was a different fault reading.
  8. My 2003 turbo has developed a serious irregular misfire. It appears on evey journy to a greater or lesser extent. The car has been into a specialist and they have said that the problem is the camshaft adjuster and that it is a huge job to change it. Having looked through the forum on this the only references to misfires usually relate to failing coil packs. I'm anxious not to get ripped off unnecessarily so any advise or experience would be greatly welcome.
