Don't know codes but after cambelt done by local garage light has been coming on, garage says error is missfire on 2 and 3 but couldn't find cause and so l asked on 500 forum and phonic wheel reset was suggested.so - what codes are being generated?
This sounds suspiciously like the cam belt change was not done properly using the correct timing tools or something was damaged in the process.
Not using the correct timing tools is a common issue especially if the vehicle has seen more than one cam belt change as timing can slowly shift with each belt change till eventually the last change is the one that causes problems.
As your car is a 2012 model then I suspect this is it's 1st cam belt change so drift is unlikely to be the issue.
How long after the belt change was it before the light came on?
I think the garage should be looking at this for you (free of charge) as everything was fine before they got their hands on it. If you go messing around then you give them every opportunity to was their hands and walk away.
You make a very important point here s130. The garage has been paid to do the whole job and, whilst it might be that a new problem has arisen independent from the job, it's more probable that the correct proceedure or part of the task has not been followed/completed. If anyone other than the garage "fiddles" with it this gives them a good excuse to walk away! However if they are not familiar with the peculiarities of the 8 valve engine and have diagnostic gear (Multiecuscan or similar) which can perform the relearn you're on a looser I think?This sounds suspiciously like the cam belt change was not done properly using the correct timing tools or something was damaged in the process.
