Hi all,
My wife's 1.8 Marea from 1999 has 235k kms. It is running quite fine (a little bit overconsuming regarding to other similar Mareas in spritmonitor). So far never had any big issues on this one.
The last 4 times she went to work she had the MIL (injection light) up in a motorway hill. This light never lit in the past 7 years (except once during a very heavy rain session).
The light switches off after 20 to 30 seconds.
During the remaining ride, flat highway, and countryside roads, the light never showed up. Same when I tested the car in my garage.
The car, when the light is on, is operating absolutely normally, with no other noise and no performance impact.
It *seems* that the first consumptions numbers are 1.5 liters/100 kms above the previous refills.
I was considering at first a lambda probe that was giving incorrect values in some conditions, but before, I ran a MultiECUscan on the car.
It returned lambda probe and Knock sensors errors.
I would consider that knock sensors failure would have an impact in the car performance and running, while lambda may only introduce a rich mixture and fuel overconsumption..
What is your take on this ?
Thanks
