I had a 200 from 2011-2014 (traded in for an R). I had it remapped, can’t say I noticed any difference whatsoever.

Misinformation P1336 - general misfire P1337 - misfire on cylinder 1 P1338 - misfire on cylinder 2 P1339 - misfire on cylinder 3 P1340 - misfire on cylinder 4 These codes are manufacturer specific, so mean different things on different cars They are also engine management system specific, so...

Mine has AN. 14RCZ.0030 on it. Looks like it’s print date 09-13. Got mine May ‘14

Regarding your timing chain message, what we’re the exact words & associated code.

I will check mine later.

Don’t think you can do anything mechanically. It’s the stick on deflectors for you, I think.

I’m with the other guys. The platinum warranty is money well spent and I reckon I’ve already had my 10 years worth out of it!

Heard this quite a few times now. Don’t be so quick to condemn your timing chain because it’s ‘a well known fault’. There are other things, e.g. fuel pumps. I would see if other codes emerge in the next couple of weeks. If you have a logging code reader/dongle you can capture data while...

That sounds exactly like fuel delivery issues, not timing chain. It happens under load: more fuel required, but it couldn’t be delivered, due to low pressure. Mpg readings showed blank: no detectable fuel flow, due to low fuel pressure (I’d forgotten, mine did this too when my pump failed)...

These engines are known to be a bit rattly at idle.

Not sure your code has ever been associated with a timing chain issue. They’re normally more like a reported phasing issue or similar and applies to the whole bank, not just a single cylinder. In my mind, it sounds more like ignition (coil or carbon build up) or high pressure fuel pump. I know...

Mick - good to here from you! There is a story, but I won’t bore here. Being a Boy Scout in a previous life, I like to be prepared, so it was a question that came into my head, the answer for which might save me some grief and swearing one day. Cheers.

Had one 5 years. Good, isn’t it.

For more info., it’s a R version and I can’t quite see the best access to undo the clip that secures the air hose to what I guess is the inlet manifold. It’s a bit buried between the bulkhead and engine, so I wondered what the best way to reach the clip fixing was?

Number 1 in your first picture.
