Hi guys n gals,
I've had a problem with my glow plugs not working recently (fault code P0670 - Glow Plug Module Control Circuit) and I'm busy working that problem. However I still need to use the car to get to work etc and the other day I finished a nightshift and it had been freezing for most of the night. Needless to say the cold V6 wouldn't start without some help so I boiled a kettle and used the hot water to heat the lump up. (Not ideal for many reasons I know!!)
Now I think I've killed my Swirl Motor (which upon inspection is already covered in oil seeping down from the turbo intake, common fault it seems) as I developed the fault code P2015 - Intake Manifold Runner Posn Sensor/Switch Circuit Range/Performance and CEL is on with it in limp home mode (turbo has been disabled by the ECU)
My question is this... (and apologies if its already been covered but I've read and I'm doing so much at the moment)... Has anyone out there done the quick fix whereby you bridge the 12v supply pin and the ECU line pin of the swirl motor plug with a resistor? If so, when did you do it and has anyone had any related problems since? I'm concerned that if my swirl motor has died in the fully closed posn then it could lead to damage further down the line.
Cheers!
