Hi, I really hope someone can give me some advice on this?
I have just looked at a 2014 car that is in my price range (allowing for the repair that I think is required) but it is a non starter.
it turns over normally and has a permanent engine light on.
I have checked the oil and water and they look fine.
I have read the codes (OBD) and it is showing P0341 which I believe is cam shaft.
I have allowed up to £1000 to £1500 for repairs not knowing for sure that there is nothing more wrong with gearbox/clutch bushes brakes and coil spring issues as I have not been able to drive the car, am I correct in my diagnosis of possible timing kit and or new sensor?
And is it worth taking the risk in your opinion?
The car is currently at £3500 and 58,000 miles.
Thanks for looking and any advice you may be able to offer.
ps. I know that any advice would be just that and nothing binding the final choice of to buy or not is mine and mine alone.
