Afternoon all.
136k '03 c4s.
I've just had flashing CEL, plugged in OB2 and got the attached pic. Stopped as soon as it happened. Misfire cylinder 1 detected (I keep ob2 in glovebox)
Drove the 4 miles home and seemed to get worse. Screenshot is when I got the car home.
Oil pressure etc ok, engine temp fine, no leaks to be seen.
The 3 variables/ potential causes...
1) I've just changed the engine mounts (yesterday) so could have disturbed something. Although was fine for the 15 mile test drive straight after
2) I had just washed the car, potential for water ingress, although didn't do anything different to usual.
3) was in a rush, I had just filled up (about a mile before it happened, deviated from the usual v power and went for Tesco momentum. Currently trying to ascertain if they have had any other issues with the fuel.
In short, filled up, made it a mile, CEL cylinder one, drove home gingerly, and screenshot of when I got home.
Thanks for you help, won't be able to get back to the car until Monday.
