Pi349 code

Unread post by Gee1 »

Hi, got a Citroen c3 1.4 hi 2013 vin VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] and have a code p1349.
The code doesn't light up the eml but can not be cleared on a basic scanner I have, Car is running fine apart from occasional lag in acceleration,
Amy ideas?
Thx

Putting the code to the internet the following options are suggested:

Common Causes of P1349
  • Low or Dirty Engine Oil: Insufficient or contaminated oil can hinder the VVT system's operation.
  • Stuck VVT Solenoid: A malfunctioning solenoid can prevent proper valve timing adjustments.
  • Wiring Issues: Damaged or corroded wiring can disrupt signals to the VVT system.

Different results online, apparently my c3 doesn't have a vvt as it is a diesel engine, only petrol has vvt, other results point towards glow plugs, will have to take it to a an autoelectrician and get a proper diagnosis as I only have a basic scanner
Thanks for reply
