For who ever is interested , the problem was a busted-melted catalytic converter and a piece of it made it's way down the exhaust and blocked it Sypmtoms got worse and worse to the point that the car would only rev up to 2000 rpm , the engine sounded really strange , then wouldn't even start. I checked the timing , replaced both vvt solenoids , cleaned solenoid filters , replaced camshaft sensors , replaced cranckshaft sensor , replaced ignition coils , replaced spark plugs again At a point i removed both pre-cat oxygen sensors and the car started right up , took it for a drive and she pulls better than the first day i bought it I've gone mad trying to swort out this problem , but i am also pleased that now i know this car inside out like the back of my hand , hope the solution helps somebody else too

Hello , i had the same problem , mine had the small speaker deffective , i changed it and everything works , if you have the same problem be sure to get a speaker with the exact same specs as the original , nothing else works , i tryed... Mine is a sedane , i couldn't tell you where to find this speaker on the estate 🙂

It's the propshaft middle bearing , it drove me crazy for about 2 months after i bought the car , i coldn't quite pinpoint the noise , but finaly i did. I managed to inject hot melted vaseline in the bearing with an old iron syringe , noise gone , end of story.

Hello Try pressing pty , then fastForward button , then A.mem button , that's the only way it worked for me , i had the same problem with the "please wait" message

Hello everyone , sorry to bother you , i have an 02' x type 2.5 v6 , 5 speed manual transmission ,120.000 miles on the clock , with an extremely rough idle when the engine is cold , it sounds like it missfires alot (allthough no missfire codes stored), like running on 3 cylinders , when i try to rev it up , it's running on those "3cilynders" up to 2000 rpms , above 2000 rpms it backfires (not every time) :))) and the other cylinders start to ignite , and it runs.... "normal" if i keep it revved past 2000 rpm. This happens for about 5 minutes when i start the car cold , after that everything starts to settle down , and it runs OK , but it lacks power on acceleration... I have no faults stored on the ECU , only an abs sensor on the rear left side I have tryed : smoke test on the intake , no leaks ; replaced the fuel pump , replaced MAF sensor , replaced MAP sensor , replaced spark plugs (gapped plugs 0.055) , replaced fuel pressure sensor Still haven't done a compression test , any other ideas? Anyone??...
