Your check engine light is on. Here is how the NLD E-3 engine manual tells you to fix common codes:
| DTC Code | Description | Manual Procedure | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | P0011 | Camshaft timing over-advanced | Remove VANOS solenoid, clean with brake cleaner. If persistent, replace timing chain tensioner (P/N 11367549542). | | P0087 | Fuel rail pressure too low | Test HPFP flow rate (min 400 bar at 4000 RPM). Replace injectors if pressure leaks down within 2 minutes of ignition off. | | P0170 | Fuel trim malfunction | Check for vacuum leaks at the diaphragm in the valve cover. Perform smoke test. | | P1339 | Combustion misfire (cylinder 3) | Swap spark plug to cylinder 1. If fault moves, replace plug. If not, perform compression test (min 10.5 bar). | Critical for NLDE-3 longevity
