https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/generic/p0303-cylinder-3-misfire-detected.php Apart from the above, did they use the special grease when changing the coils? I read about it, but my car is a diesel and, therefore, I don't have relevant experience. I wrote about the corresponding technical not...

Cabin Filter

Does anybody know where to buy an activated carbon cabin filter? They go in the place of the standard pollen filter. This is an example of such a filter. There are also filters made by Bosch.

YoungTurk, I don't have much experience in this area. The last time I saw thermostat failing, it was my son's Astra-G, z16se engine. The symptoms were classical. The engine took ages (15min or so) to warm up to 70C(!) when stationary and the needle dropped down to the limiter as soon as the car star...

YoungTurk, Your information is relevant and interesting indeed, so please stay around. :wink: I just don't know how to interpret it. What do you mean by "slowly coming up to normal again"? Once it started rising, did it take seconds or several minutes to reach the normal value? If seconds, then it i...

silencer51, The thermostat is not indicated in your drawing. It is shown in PR->Upper_Engine->Pump section. In some engine models it is called something like Assy/smth. Nevertheless, the assembly contains a regular thermostat inside. On the second point you are absolutely right. If the ECU "thinks" ...

No thermostat? :shock: Retarding timing to keep it warm in winter? :wint If such, then, for example, what is the part number 8200112054 in F9Q-800 or 7700872554 in K4M(J,R), etc. ? 8200112054: https://www.bt-autoteile.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=13411&cPath=308_342_344 7700872554: https...

"...the gauge starts to fall..."
Electrical gremlins tend to be either on or off, and you have a gradual transition... Thermostat?

Auto lights do put additional stress on bulbs, but this stress is not "undue". So many times I saw people driving with lights off when they should be on. Auto lights is a safety feature, which, I believe, pays for itself. Your case may be down to bad luck or there can be a loose contact somewhere. A...

It is not a rocket science, is it? Any aircraft engineer can do it in 20 minutes. :-) If I am not mistaken, yours is 1.6L model. I've changed only the headlight bulbs on my 1.9DCI-120 Expression on both sides by going from under the wheel arch. Every side took approx 10-15min including removal of th...

silencer51, have you tried getting your "croop-croop" sound with the power steering off? The forces under "dry steering" (when the car is not moving) can be great, thus causing sounds which are not heard during normal operation. Anyway, my steering did not produce this noise when trying your experim...
