Hi

I have just plugged my Ross-tech in for the first time and run an Auto-scan and there are a couple of faults it has picked up, here is the bit of the scan.

 

005660 - Glowplug for Cylinder 3 (Q12)
               P161C - 000 - Open Circuit
             Freeze Frame:
                    Fault Status: 01110000
                    Fault Priority: 3
                    Fault Frequency: 1
                    Reset counter: 255
                    Mileage: 192409 km
                    Time Indication: 0
                    Date: 2000.00.00
                    Time: 08:54:15
             Freeze Frame:
                    RPM: 840 /min
                    Speed: 0.0 km/h
                    Load: 0.0 %
                    Voltage: 14.14 V
                    Bin. Bits: 00001100
                    Temperature: 17.1°C
                    Bin. Bits: 10110000
000802 - Engine Speed Sensor (G28)
               P0322 - 000 - No Signal - Intermittent
             Freeze Frame:
                    Fault Status: 00110000
                    Fault Priority: 1
                    Fault Frequency: 10
                    Reset counter: 255
                    Mileage: 202457 km
                    Time Indication: 0
                    Date: 2000.00.00
                    Time: 08:53:57
             Freeze Frame:
                    RPM: 1428 /min
                    Speed: 0.0 km/h
                    Load: 31.0 %
                    Voltage: 14.29 V
                    Bin. Bits: 00101100
                    Idle Stabilization: 0.0°KW
                    RPM: 693 /min

 

The VCDS came up with 202730km as the current milage, so the glowplug fault was 10000km ago, I am guessing that means that I can safely ignore it. The engine speed sensor is very recent though, is it easy to get at ? Is there anything I can do with it?

 

Cheers

Probably needs a glow plug but not that critical, if the rev counter is working and the car starts fine i would ignore the speed sensor as well. I would probably check the connection is good, that's about it.
