Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out with this before I end up in the looney bin.
This is how the story starts.
Last summer (2020) I took the car (03 TF 135) for a nice drive in the country side it was a lovely summers day, I had been driving for a couple of hours everything seemed good.
As I came to a junction the car cut out it did restart but was not a happy bunny misfiring coughing spluttering I manged to crawl the car back home was only mile or 2 away.
Day 2 put the car on my code reader there was only 2 errors 1 for the precat lambda sensor and the other P0340 camshaft error, Had a look at the lambda sensor and could see the wires had melted (Good job I've got one in the shed) I ordered a new camshaft sensor from Ebay, turned up the next day fitted it lambda sensor error was gone but P0340 was still there it was at this time I noticed the car was not getting up to temperature unless the revs was up and this point the heating was so hot it was burning, After some investigating I was confident the head gasket had blowing so the car was parked up till this month (Feb 2021) when I had the money for a mobile mechanic to sort the head gasket.
He arrived and within a hour the head was off, The gasket had blew between the coolant hole and the firing ring any how head gasket all fixed. So I hocked up the car to the code reader once again and still P0340 was there, I thought I would bite the bullet and get a brand new one from DMGRs once I order that I thought now would be a good time to inspect the wiring loom, visually it looked ok so I got my multi meter out and checked for Voltage and I've got 12/13v , So today my new DMGRs camshaft sensor arrives plugged it in erase the old P0340 code start it up and boom the codes back. I'm at a lost now guys.
