When driving my car the other day, the engine management light came on. After checking posts on the forum, I looked at my cam magnet to discover that the cable connector was full of oil. I now suspect that it has travelled down the loom, an experience so many others seem to have had. There are signs that the magnet has leaked oil at the front of the engine too. I checked the Ecu multi-pin plugs (with the grey locking levers) and these were clean. The car is running well with no apparent loss of power or economy at the moment, but I realise that this could change. My question is, once I have replaced the magnet and installed the blocker, will I need to reach the loom or might I have caught the problem early enough? I have only owned my car for three months and would want to speak with the dealer if the repair is going to be costly. Any advice would be most welcome.
