    K12 has weak acceleration

    I think the U1000 fault code may be the most important, you will need an advanced level scanner to communicate with the system control units by doing a system call to determine which of the sensors are communicating and which ones are not, this will help to determine which sensors are playing up...

    K12 has weak acceleration

    I assume your car is petrol? check the compression of the cylinders, overheating can cause problems with the bores and pistons/rings. Its a simple test to perform to rule out this.secondly fuel.

    1.5dci k9k engine rattle

    The rhythmic knock you mention may be typical of worn subframe bushes, as they tend to be more noticable under load or coming off load as the subframe tends to rock about under the stresses, It took ages for me to source this problem but the bushes are cheap but heavy on labour time, so best let...

    K12 dci cam sensor location

    Firstly you need to check air filter and glow plugs, on mine 3 had burnt out without any faults showing, also the fuel filter may need a drain ( under front passenger wheel arch) to drain any water in the filter. It may need changing later. I also highly recommend adding this additive to the...

    K12 Auto Gear Box P0745/P1171 stalling

    Have a look at the manual it will navigate you part of the way, just a thought, but I took apart all the engine sensors on mine and cleaned each one out with the contact cleaner including the fuses etc, they tend to oxidise or go green over time which interferes with the signals to the ECU.

    K12 Auto Gear Box P0745/P1171 stalling

    As your gearbox is hydraulically driven by the engine, then its probable a pressure fault, this however should not stall the engine, before delving deeper give the engine a service with new air cleaner and spark plugs, I have had auto gearboxes in the past and if the gearbox goes the engine...
