    NEED HELP, cooling system 99, 2.5 auto P38

    There's a >1999 on eBay for £300, but the pictures are blurry so who knows what condition.

    P38A Faked mot exhaust sensor

    From that graph, it appears that Bank-A is the bad one, however the Nanocom recording you share indicates Bank-B is not swinging through the correct range. This why we suggested swapping them over & cleaning the connector contacts. They should normally swing from 0V to 1V on a Thor with...

    Would an Italian tune-up help ???

    The O2 sensor data looks wrong. They should be switching at similar rates, so maybe it's time to put new ones in ? All the other charts appear ok to me, but it's dificult to tell from the pictures. As I said before it's generally not recommended, but try cleaning them with Carb Cleaner.

    surely that would not work because the join is well before the centre box.

    P38 diagnostic

    I might be in Reading next week, but don't know what day yet. If you're nearby I can bring my Nanocom.

    P38A Complete failure of window regulator and mirror (switch pack)

    Nanocom also shows BECM inputs including the window switches. That together with the ability to activate outputs to test the windows & locks means you can nail down where the fault is.

    Not usually. Two Cats feed a single centre box, that then splits to two rear boxes. But saying that my MOT guy did find differences in the two tailpipe emissions !! Even he agreed it didn't make sense.

    GEMS definitely has separate trims for each bank. Don't know about Thor. The pics above do show trim values, but the recording Pete12345 sent shows zeros ?? Also Nanocom is labelling them as Downstream when it should show Upstream Trims, hence why I asked for Thor Instrument mode...

    ignore thread please

    But that one didn't tell us to ignore it . . . hence we actually did ignore it.

    None of those show the O2 sensors. As said several times now, emissions depend on O2 Sensors, MAF, Engine speed & Temp, plus Air Leaks and how the trims are behaving. Not got one, but from various forums it appears Thor are much more sensitive to O2 sensors or MAF being out of range. 1) did...

    Another thing to try is to use Nanocom Instrument Mode for recordings. Select Instruments & Motronic. Make sure Auto Recording is OFF. Then start the car & enable recording. Here's an example of the recording from one or my P38's. This includes the Engine speed, Airflow, O2 Sensors &...

    I'm still ignoring this

    P38A Faked mot exhaust sensor

    Well that data shows essentially the same as post #30 above. Both O2 sensors are switching, although Bank-B voltage range is lower than Bank-A. My understanding is this shows the air-fuel ratios are adjusting more on Bank-A, but not sure which side is better ! Did you try swapping them...
