DS3 Racing | Fault Codes | Can anyone help?

[albish]

So today I had my car at a Citoren Dealer, we thought we give it a shot before stripping it down as my father still thinks the Piston didn't break... Hope he's right...

And it's throwing Code: P1338,

Can anyone tell me what that is, as apparently Citoren needs to contact their main dealer for this and they said it would take up to a week for that to bepossible :Joni: (Long story about dealers here as we are a new country and thing don't go how they should....)

I've seen Code: P1337 is a Cylinder 1 Misfire, so is it safe to guess that this is Cylinder 2 Misfire?

I will be posting some other Codes here as I get them from Citoren, but they are currently fixing their VGA Cable :bow:




Thank You very much in advance,
Albi

Codes are as following...

List 1:

P1385 Super knock detection
P2336 Super knock detection : cylinder 1
P2337 Super knock detevtion : cylinder 2
P2626 Upstream oxygen sensor pump current signal fault
P0420 Fault catalytic converter ageing
P2338 Super knock detection : cylinder 3
P2339 Super knock detection : cylinder 4
P0139 Downstream oxygen sensor signal fault
P0352 Fault cylinder 2 misfiring
P1338 Combustion misfiring on cylinder 2 fault
P1340 Combustion misfiring on cylinder 4 fault
P1337 Combustion misfiring on cylinder 1 fault
P1339 Combustion misfiring on cylinder 3 fault

List 2:
P1338 Combustion misfiring on cylinder 2 fault

P.S They are refusing to do the NLB Recall, as they say they can do it only under warranty...


Any help would be more than appreciated

Just guessing:

carbonized valves, failed plugs or coils, or fuel pump which may have caused detonation.

If the car idles crappy and low cylinder compression, then there is a leak somewhere.

If the exhaust smells like oil -> piston failure, if it smells sweet (coolant) could be blown headgasket.

I had quite a lot of fault codes like these 4 month ago, and was HPFP and ECU needed changing
Also plugs were changed
Took them 2 weeks to diagnose

[lfcrule1972]

Sorry to hear this, how old is your Racing Albi ?

[albish]

@Ragnarok Carbonized valves and failed piston...

@Chris_Blue He said it was because the engine was driven that way to the garage, when he erased them only the P1338 came back again, so yeah Piston Party

@lfcrule1972 it's 08.2012, but the car was not driven for almost a year and it has 12k on it

What are your opinions about Wiseco Pistons or Wossner Pistons, as these two are the ones and can get hold of more easily...

[albish]

Some additional information about the Pistons:

Wiseco Pistons:
Bore: 77,0mm

Stroke: 85,8mm

Rod length: 138,5mm

Pin diameter: 20mm

Comp height: 28,5mm

Comp ratio: 9,8:1

Wossner Pistons:

Bore: 77,0mm

Stroke: 85,8mm

Rod length: 138,5mm

Pin diameter: 20mm

Comp height: 28,5mm

Comp ratio: 10.5:1

The only difference is Compression Ratio, so will this make noticable difference in power of the engine as Racing originally has 11:1 and to get it down to 9.8:1, wouldn't that be too much?

[cyclone]

Depends on how much boost you want to push. If I remember you were in the 245ish PS range. If your looking to stay around there (+-)I would go with the slightly lower Wossner pistons. But if want to push closer to 300+ would drop to the 9.8:1

Cyclone seems to know what he is talking about.

Original matter, sorry to hear mate. However every Racing will face this fate at some point.

[albish]

Thank You very much Cyclone and Ragnarok for your help, and thank to everyone who at least tried to make me feel better :Joni:

I've been a while for a week or so as I had to go throgh a small surgery which is all well now

I do need to ask you guys one more last thing:

As I do live in a f-up country, It dosent seem I can have Pistons delivered here from any company But I do have a friend in London willing to buy and send them to me :bow:

Can anyone suggest any store in UK where he can physically go and buy Forged Pistons (Wössner or Wiseco) for me ?

P.S. I did find this adress online of PEC Automotive (Performance Engine Components, Unit 6 Allshots Enterprise Court, Woodhouse Lane, Kelvedon, Essex, CO5 9DF VAT No. 915 3777 07) is this a valid adress where he can physically go and buy them?

Thank You very much again,

Albi

[lfcrule1972]

It looks like you can, if I were you I'd email them and ask before sending your friend over - sales@performanceenginecomponents.com

[albish]

I've been emailing them and the Engine Dynamics Store (www.engine-dynamics.co.uk) and Forged Pistons (www.forged-pistons.co.uk) for 3 days but neither seem to answer, so I asked you guys if they are Physical or just Online shops...?

Did you change the oxygen sensor ? bcuz i have the same code (P0139) also (P0140)


(0054-0074) does any one know anything about there codes ?

[Jamie@SPTuning]

All 4 cylinders....I'd first check fuel pressure.
