Now i've sorted the first two, but i'm fearing the last! Ross tech wiki page on the 008851
is ere http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/18725/P2293/008851

So either the fuel filter is knackered (i watched as it was replaced) or theres a kink in the fuel line or something got knackered as the filter was changed...... OR my cam lobe is worn!

The power is terribily low, altho my s1 revo remap has been put in stock mode now it still seems low even for stock settings!!!!!

Taking an educated guess can anyone tell me a) If i should drive my car and b) what would you put your money on the fault turning out to be!

Thanks

Your fuel pressure error seems to be detected at 1km and 1300 rpm are you sure this has not been caused when starting the car after the filter was changed?
I am pretty sure all cam lobe problems anly happened high rpm and full boost.
Does this error delete?

Kevs FR: Yup it's deleted fine I've put it down to the system just being a bit starved of fuel when the filter was changed! Also the mileage, when converted from km to miles was exactly when the service was done to the mile! So yeah! Should really check things through before i panic!

Noel < > Leon: Yup mate it's due on the 14th will get it booked in in the coming week! Thanks for the heads up tho!
