    hello,

    want to go on a trip today but only some minutes after starting my copen makes some funny noises and it seem that he is only running on 3 cylinders. Did any one know how to read out the error codes or how to get access to a manual.

    Thanks

    You won't get any error codes unless the engine warning light is on. It's yellow or orange, and err, looks like an engine:)
    Three cylinder running I'd change the plugs and if that doesn't improve the running then test the coils. There is one on each plug lead.
    The funny noises sounds a bit ominous were the noises metallic sounding, grinding or banging?
