Eml came on this morning showing 16395.... I'm seeing its cam related... anyone got any suggestions... car drives fine...idles fine and no loss of power... help 😩

If the car is running fine I would clear the code and see if it comes back. It could’ve had a funny moment and it does happen, quite often it seems with the code.

 

16395/P0011/000017 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Retard Setpoint not Reached (Over-Advanced)

Possible Symptoms

Power Loss

Possible Causes

Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205) faulty

Fuel Pump Relay (J17) faulty

Mechanical Timing not correct, including Chain and/or Belt timing.

Possible Solutions

Check Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205)

Check Fuel Pump Relay (J17) (applicable for vehicles with J17 only)

Check Mechanical Timing

 

I would keep an eye on it, if you’re worried. Take it to a garage that you trust to do a few checks.

Thanks for reply.. I cleared it.. then I've been back to it and just drove 12 miles to drop It at garage... the light didn't come back on in that time so fingers crossed... I've left it with guy at garage.. he said could be something small or major.. something about valve or summat needed the cam belt and other bits off..  reckons if its that he can't do it till after Christmas cuz it's a big job and he's fully booked 😩... I'm praying it's something small 🙏

So just got car back... he's told me they have plugged it In and it's not showing anything 🤷‍♂️.... said if there was an issue it would come up so they need to have a deeper look.. its driving fine..I've just got it home. One thing I've thought about is I topped the oil up not yesterday the day before with 5w40 ... maybe it didn't like that??... who knows! ... its in for a service on the 10th of December (every 5k may I add).. I'm having the gasket cover changed so when he's doing that hes gonna do a better inspection. (Here's hoping) 🤞

I've seen other get this error with the pickup pipe too. So while you're there, get this done to. Clean out the sump, new gasket seal and new pickup pipe with bolts.

Thanks Dean 👍
