    Does anyone have a fault code reader I could borrow or someone use on my r53 I have been getting the yo-yo symptoms at low speeds so bought a new bypass valve that has been adjusted to close completely at wot but it hasn't helped the yo-yo and is still very noticeable
    Could it be dirty injectors or??????
    And would injectors show up on a code reader

    Cheers Craig

    I've got a wifi dongle and dash command. If there are any codes it should find them. Worth a try as it's free. Could meet up one night ?

    It might need a more complex reader that a garage has but it's worth a shot

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
