La5h Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I had the 'engine check light' come on so i took it to nissan and got the codes, P0345 Camshaft poition sensor P0011 and P0021 Bank 1 and 2 variable valve controllers, which were at -17 degrees, should be between +5 or -5 They checked the timing chain tensioner protrusion which was at 14.5mm, they're techs 'think' the chain could be stretched which is causing the other problems. Then the next day i had problems starting it after work, as if the battery was nearly flat. They quoted £1000 in parts then labour on top to change the chain. The car has only done 43k miles. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would try replacing the CPS first as it is only a 5 minute job The other codes could be a direct result of the CPS failure as you may be getting an over advanced signal. All parts in stock, preowned or brand new Let me know if I can help you further Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La5h Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Will that sort out the starting problem too? How much are the CPS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 ZedShed is in Bournemouth Do you have any contact details, address? Thats a little forum joke (well sort of). A rather over enthusiastic member called keyser runs a sort of 'car brothel' called the zedshed from his house.......no so sure he'd be able to fix your car at the drop of a hat though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a CPS from Alex - and bring it over we can fit it and then read any fault codes it throws up We are not a professional company (you can say that again ) So bring chocolate biccys to ensure a happy welcome If that would help drop me a PM and we can squeeze you in one evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La5h Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 The problem starting was a battery in the throes of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 so all problems fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La5h Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 That was a seperate problem that decided to happen at the same time, it was the original battery though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 sorry i dont understand. So is the engine running normal now? or is it still fooked??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La5h Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 The original problem is still there (the cps and intake valve prob), then a day later it had problems starting which was the battery dieing, it was just a coincidence that it happened around the same time. I thought the 2 things were linked, but they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 ah I see Have you tried replacing the cps yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La5h Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm in the process of getting one, hopefully that'll sort out the problems and i'll be able to properly enjoy the car again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La5h Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Cps changed, and still the problem all the sensors and solenoids have been checked and they all work fine but still throws up the error codes 0011 and 0021, then if pushed it hesitates and will throw up the cel and 0345 code.
