But we found that it was 2.5 10v for Canada but now its 2.0t for italian market....
Not 2.0T...it's 2.0 T5R with 240hp. :wink:
If somebody don't know...2.0 T5R is introduced for Italian market ONLY because of high taxes which Italy have for engines above 2 liter.Just like Serbia and Greece.

@ bmdubya1198 ...pretty confusing,but 10v cars were a little late for obdII system and they use Siemens & Fenix ecu instead of Bosch.

Thanks to precopster's pointer and my special Vin decoder we figured it out. :wink:

Nothing....
It's more complicated than it seems because you don't know what wiring was actually transferred from a donor when engine & ecu(engine management)was replaced.
Could be something simple but could be also a nightmare.

I forgot to reply, i found the problem..... It was stupid led button which was somehow hard to press and now is ok, also cleaned the holes for a code cable and everything works perfect.
