Hi guys,
lets keep it cool. Memebers trying to help often dont have much tie to write detailed explanations. K333fer is certainly not the worst. I think what he was suggesting is that the fault code may have been caused by a low battery or CAN bus issue rather than a "hard" fault.
Other things:
Dodgy
MES If you bought it recently (last month or so) put a case in with ebay as item not as described and tell them it was an illegal copy. You will get your money back and can get a valid copy from
www.multiecuscan.net Please tell us the ebay item number of (or a link to) the ebay item you bought so we can avoid it, If we dont pay for this software there will be no updates or support in the future, The cost is less than one session with a dealer.
Checking oil: as it's a conventional gearbox there is no dipstick so the only way to check is to remove the level plug. Note that the fault is not an actual overheat, but a missing signal. It needs to be fixed but its not an immediate threat to the car. That said take any other signs of a problem seriously.
What to do next.
Connect up
MES with the engine stopped (ignition on) and connect. Click the Scan (F11) button and make a note of the engine and transmission ECU model numbers it reports.
On the left of the screen select (click) engine, select the ecu model you noted and click connect (F10) When this connects Click the errors (F3) button, note any errors and clear them (F10) . Click the Parameters tab (F4) and scroll down until you see Air temperature MAF, Enginetemperature and engine temperature signal. Click th check boxes next to these and the current values should be displayed. If the engine has not run recently they should all be the same and about ambient.
If you click the graph tab the signals should be displayed and graphed.
Disconnect from the engine ECU and repeat the above for the gearbox ECU, gearbox oil temperature and clutch temperature. Consider any inconsistencies.
Disconnect from the Gearbox ECU, re-do the rengine stages but start the engine ths time and let it warm up while watching the graph. save the graph. connect to the gearbox ecu , check for errors and the oil and clutch temperatures , report back.
