fault code 2A61

Post by twizellb » Sat Sep 23, 2017 5:08 pm

Could anyone help me regarding the fault code showing on my E85, 2A61 is a new valvetronic motor required or is it a sensor problem.
Has anyone else had the same problem its a 2.0 2005 car.
Many thanks.

Hi, look at andyfanshaws thread on his 2.0 as I'm sure he changed the valvetronic motor on his after diagnosing a fault code?

Wow, thats some thread and he is some guy :thumbsup:
Mine is running fine though just showing the 2a61 code when you read it, was wondering if this was a sensor or valvetronic motor problem.
Andy's went in to full limp mode.
