Hi, I have just joined the group hoping you experts can help me please.
2011 rcz 200 68000 miles.
car had being going into limp mode with engine warning light on.
After reading the fault codes I Had the garage fit a full new cam chain kit and vvt solenoid valve. Two coil packs were also changed. Previous to this the in tank fuel pump was also changed due to non starting.
the problem is however still persisting. Them codes have gone but I am getting
p1057 and p1147. I think p1072 is the vvt motor and p1147 is another coil pack. Can someone confirm this please?
if I need to change the vvt motor would I be best with a used genuine one or a cheaper new copy part for around £120?
new genuine ones will be very pricey and a bit of a gamble for me
The car right now starts and drives perfect at low revs (with light on) but anything over half throttle and it will stutter, go into limp mode and misfire juddering as it drives. Fans on full blast for 10 mins after switching off. Start back up and ok again until more than half throttle and same again.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Spent over £1000 now ….
