    Problematic P38 DSE - low power/slow & overheating underload & loosing coolant

    Righty, been out and had a look. coolant hoses remain soft-enough throughout. Nearside coolant hose is hotter than the drivers side. Bottom of the rad' appears to be cool (cold?) I got the engine to around 11 o'clock on the temp sensor. What I did read on the RAVE software is that should an...

    P38 Diagnostics, (competant..) DIY?

    Hi there, It's a 2000, the 'ol girl has hot start issues (which i'll be resolving this week) and the battery is tired, so it's getting one of those asap (will be posting on any suggestions for appropriate one, while cost is an issue, imo, buy cheap - buy twice!) Having not driven any others...

    P38 Diagnostics, (competant..) DIY?

    Hi Gav, Yep - that's all I use. Keep finding new things out using the software (only 3.11 or whatever the original one is) How about you? Do you use the elm stuff if you look at vag motors? I read somewhere in here you use the elm kit, the one i've seen on the bay is about £30 now so a...

    P38 Diagnostics, (competant..) DIY?

    Hi all, New to the forum, but have had a quick look around, more so on the b*$tard P38 DSE my dad owns which overheats when towing/under load / tops out at 90 down big hill, slow and a little, imo, underpowered.
