Well Jack that last post amused me
in a good way.
Yes I understand you trying to educate people, but it's very easy with the internet to end up following through multiple links to understand something, and then before you know it the old brain is fried with information overload and numerous interruptions. I'd love to be able to read and fully understand the manuals for everything that passes through here (multiple different brands of vehicles), and if it was a regular problem then we would try harder, but in reality I'll probably never have to try and fix one of these again, certainly not in the near future before the old brains forgotten it all
Anyway we've made progress, the old Mechatrocnic was dropped back today, so first chance I've had to have a good look at it, it is a self contained unit (photo's at end of the post). After looking at it I decided to look at the clutch actuators which once you move some items out the way are visible. I found a major problem, the push for the smaller clutch fork had come out, no idea why, perhaps it wasn't seated correctly in the first place.
As the gearbox specialist was here with the proper release tool he got it back into place and and the car now drives, selecting all gears, but will not complete basic training, it goes through the motions, reaches 4.0.0 we start the car, after a short while it fails with a 255, 87 code, the only code description I have so far found is Gangeinleg_Synchronpos. G6 Timeout which doesn't seem to translate. At the risk of sounding lazy could I ask if anyone knows what this means please?
The only fault code present in the vehicle is 005983, which is basic training not performed.
I've also discovered what that Bentley &
refers, nothing to do with
Bentley Cars
As I've said all along the Mechatronic is a sealed unit, and we certainly shouldn't be pulling apart a new unit - this will void the warranty, here's a couple of pictures of the old unit.
PS. I've read the complete
Sticky, and yes I can confirmed we checked charging, battery etc ;-)
