OK, this is for you poor sods who are the same position as me.
My D5 say "Engine Service Required" and goes into limp mode as soon as you boot the car, or put it under load. I've read loads of posts from other "poor sods" and Ive taken some tips.
1, I had the car serviced and the fuel filter replaced, it didnt cure the problem
2, I replaced the "fresh air hose" to the turbo, as these tend to collapse and cause the issue. I replaced it tonight, even though the old one looked ok, but.........still the same issue.
3, Took the MAF sensor out, cleaned that, took the turbo boost controller off and cleaned it, although it looked clean, and also took off and blew out the boost solenoid attached the the air filter housing, and checked all the boost pipes and front and rear engine mounts, all seem fine and....................I've still got the error :mad:
No, Ive not got my codes read......YET, but it looks as though im going to have to.
What else can it be?? Stuck VNT is my bet now :(
One thing to note, is that after cleaning the MAF, which was dirty, i still got the fault, so i pulled over, and switched off, and pulled out the connection to the MAF. Weirdly, I got the same issue, same error and same symptoms, although this was from start up. Could it be the MAF i now think????
I just want my car sorted, its DOING my head in :(
