Persistent EML on Citroen DS3
Discussion
63 plate Citroen DS3 1.6 Petrol
Already been to one garage who replaced the timing chain as the fault showing was for timing. They did say after that there was a new fault showing for ABS and power steering (no faults were showing before the car went in) but they put this down to faulty wiring, reset the codes and this hasn’t reappeared.
Picked the car up from them and was running fine for about 30 mins before the car went into limp mode, EML back on and had to be recovered back to the garage.
Since then it has a new solenoid, new lift pump/motor, crank sensor etc. all parts that can be have been replaced.
Car running fine after this for 2 days until it wouldn’t start one morning, battery completely dead, thought this was maybe just a coincidence so i’ve replaced the battery and car was driving fine for another day until the orange EML has came back on and showing the following codes:
P1062 -VVL Lift/Timing P1067 - VVL Relay/Wiring P1078 - VVL/Intake Manifold Runner P1015 - VVL Motor
Some codes are showing twice? Been in contact with the garage and the reckon its some sort of electrical fault but said they have looked at everything.

I have a C3 that threw up most codes and faults due to corrosion on the pins of the body control module. Basically the under bonnet fusebox unit . Lifting two of the three main connections off and I found broken pins . Replacement from scrap yard easy and no programming required.
Very common fault on these cars . Makes lots of thing fail over and above the circuits it directly controlled .
