Thanks. I haven't done any detailed troubleshooting yet, as I lack the equipment. I was hoping to gather some insights before potentially misdiagnosing the problem. Could you elaborate on the 'consequential error' aspect?

Sure. By consequential error, I mean the cylinder pressure issue might not be the primary fault. For example, a failing sensor could be sending incorrect data, causing the engine to compensate in a way that affects cylinder pressure. Given the symptoms, and without proper diagnostic tools, I'd advise against DIY repairs. I recommend a visit to a trusted workshop.

Understood, thanks for the clarification and advice. A workshop visit seems best. Interestingly, the error disappeared by itself and after visiting a workshop, the repair was free. I appreciate your help!

I had something similar with my Verso. Check engine light, loss of power, the works. A fluctuation in cylinder pressure can be caused by many things: crankshaft, head gasket, piston rings, spark plug, camshaft. It might be a consequential error, meaning it's a symptom of something else going wrong. What troubleshooting have you done so far?
