Am I faced with scrapping or?
23. Aug 2011 at 19:42

Hi, long story short, cam sensor error code,and torque converter clutch stuck off error code Angry

, told to change cam sensor as this may be throwing up gear box code, fitted new genuine cam sensor, no joy still getting torque converter error code Sad

, and car going into limp mode Angry

, car is scrap value against another car part x at car sales places, so do I get hold of a auto box and fit, take the scrap value and trade it in, or bite the bullet altogether and scrap the car altogether Angry

, I think there is more to just changing the auto box as in, the ecu will not recognise the different box, any help and advice what to do here would be great Thumbs Up!

Aug 2011 at 21:49 Code is P1870 torque converter clutch stuck off and P1871 not present DTC, Other symptom is thumping into gears, always when free wheeling and slowing down, never thumps when accelerating and changing up, spanner light has never come on when the thumping has happened, only accelerating puts the light on. Thanks.

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
