    These cars are useless, we have had ours 3 weeks had the AA twice and its still sat on the drive useless.

    So far, throttle body removed and deep cleaned,
    EGR removed cleaned, New plugs, New coil Pack, New exhaust manifold , lambda sensor , cat and exhaust, new fuel filter, idle air control valve, pump relay, thermostat and housing,

    Guess what car doesnt even start now, im going to have to call AA yet again and get it towed into a garage,

    Those are Snap on codes, not Obdii compliant codes, he needs to learn how to use the machine correctly.
