Services Performed
  • Road test vehicle, and vehicle has lack of power. Scan computer for DTC codes- P0016 CMP/CKP correlation BK1 sensor A/ P0017 CMP/CKP correlation BK1 Sensor B/ P0019 CMP/CKP correlation BK2 sensor B/ P0172 Rich condition BK1/ P0299 turbo "A" under boost. Inspect vehicle and found both intake and exhaust cams are stuck @ + degrees indicating cam phasers are bad/ defective. Additional testing and tear down will be needed to check oil actuators and solenoids. We do suspect that there will be an oil feed issue found related to previous poor workmanship. Recommend replace timing chains w/ cam phasers and all necessary components, or replace complete motor assembly. Vehicle inspection- Front end clunks over bumps in the road. TPMS (tire pressure) light is on. Vehicle is due for front brakes (1-2mm remaining), but rear brakes are fair to good (4mm). Oil indicator (sticker) in spec (not due for oil service according to sticker). *Note* vehicle took a hit (impacted) to core support for intercooler. No repairs done at this time

  • Scan computer for DTC codes- P0300 multiple misfires detected /P0307 cylinder#7 misfire detected/ P0316 Misfire detected @ start up. Cleared codes, perform reset, and DTC codes returned. Scan computer for current DTC codes- P0365 CP sensor B BK1/ P0369 CP sensor B BK1/ P0390 CP sensor BK2/ P0394 CP sensor BK2/ P1639 Vehicle ID block corrupted. Run vehicle, and sounds like cam phasers intermittently sticking. Inspect vehicle and looks like vehicle has very minor signs of coolant in oil (in oil cap). Looking into engine through filler, looks like vehicle did not get frequent oil service (sludge/ contamination). Vehicle has issue w/cam phasers/timing chain. Due to age and mileage of vehicle, recommend complete motor replacement. Customer declined any repairs at this time. No repairs performed.
