Unfortunately, didn't have the time this weekend to do almost anything on my car so no progress to tell :(
I did try to program the key but it fails on the second step:
The problem is that the alarm light never stays lit. It always blinks :(
And, btw, which button is the lock button? I didn't...
Well, what to say...
That is just incredible :)
BTW, the battery for the key is normal button battery? 3V or something like that (if I remember correctly)?
My key needs a new battery and then I can try to get that remote locking to work :)
Already found that key programming guide ;)
This certainly was good and quick explanation :)
You mast have all the pictures of every part of the car at hand :)
Thx.
I don't think it should help with dashboard light because when the light works (after I give it a knock :)) it work for some time. I can turn the car of or turn the lights on...
I'll also check idle control valve and the Throttle position Sensor :)
BTW, the link doesn't work but I think I know what you meant :)
I now where those sensors are but could some tips about cleaning them or how to check their condition :)
The previous owner sad that the cam belt was changed 4 000 km ago so this should be fine. I don't think the rocker gasket was changed so I'll check it up.
I will clean MAF to see if there is some kind of improvement. MAF is located on that hose that connects air filter and engine, right?
I...
OK, then I'll put some kind of list here so we all can decide together were to discus them :)
Let start:
Light oil leak (few small drops of oil on the ground over night) somewhere under the cam belt, at least I think it's under there because I haven't been to the garage yet.
Small power loss...
Thx guys :)
I have found some issues on my car so I'm going to write them here on the forum and I'm sure you already have the solution :)
I guess I'll write them in appropriate sections of the forum like "Under the bonnet".
I'll keep this post short because there will be plenty questions shortly after this introduction :)
So, in short about me and my honey (puma, of course):

The car is in OK...
