Unless the dealer has tapped egt pickups into the exhaust runners (which they havent) there is no possible way for them to know that cylinder 1 is lean. They can determine if the overall mixture is lean but as for cylinder specific its impossible.

I had a code come up misfire in cyl 1 once... Maybe that's what they found?

That would be p0301, and that code is only a missfire indicator, doesnt indicate whether its rich or lean just that there is a miss or has been a miss in that cylinder. If its an igniton related miss the cylinder would be rich due to fuel not being burnt but if its an injector or manifold gasket leak the cylinder will be lean due to either no/minimal fuel injection, or excessive/unmetered air intake into the cylinder. Just by plugging ids in theres no way they can tell

Don't worry OP - these guys mean well. Okay fellas - no more nonsense posts now - OP is genuinely worried about his car and this ain't amusing him right now - maybe later he'll have a laff when his car's all gud :thumbsup:

No need to stress out Brucon as your car will be under full warranty. If the problem persists the lemon laws might be worth looking at but it's probably nothing serious.

Any particular reason why you didn't take it back to the Fawkner dealership after the engine fault returned?
