After several posts about poor idling I seem to have got to the bottom of the problem. It seems that my timing is out (the error code said something about poor correlation between cam sensor and crank sensor).
The guy at the garage says it's either a slipped belt (car has done 51k and to my knowledge hasn't had a change yet) or the solenoid that controls the VVT is stuck in one position which would explain the poor idling but OK at higher revs (kinda like a high lift cam). I'm not running the car now BTW.
Haas anyone come across this before and if so is the bill going to make me cry?
Also, is there anything worth doing (apart from a belt change obviously) on the modding front while its in bits?
