The waste gate is controlled by the ECU on the 2.0 TCT, so I'm assuming that error means that the ECU is not happy with the boost pressure reading its getting when trying to regulate the boost pressure...

Will the Lexia show you the measured boost pressure in the parameters measurement section ? Looking at that while revving or driving the car...

Last post

If they haven't been changes in that long and such low miles I bet they aren't happy and for the price a change is cheap enough.

The boost pressure could be the turbo over boosting. Drive the car gentle and off boost as best you can and see if the light stays off. If it stays as a permanent fault then the pressure sensor is possibly faulty....

Stempy -I'm certain you'll have to remove the bumper to get at the washer reservoir, it's tucked up out of the way and is otherwise pretty inaccessible.
It's actually a fairly easy job but another pair of hands to help support the bumper is a good idea.

Another question! Looks like the differential pressure sensor is wrong. I tried to measure it, but I'm not sure which one is signal cable. I measured 3 different voltage 1 pink wire 0.54V, White wire 0.05V, red wire 3.9V. The engine been turned off.
Are they good measures or not?

Could be all kinds of things I'm afraid, best way to tell would be to pop under there with a torch and a can of brake cleaner to see if you can find the source.

Hi folks!!

Just bought a 58 plate C5 VTR+ with Nav and will be picking it up on Monday ( :-D )

The sat nav system is currently on version rneg_D_R20h_R20.16 - is it worth updating to the latest version (50?) or just leave it as it is?

Is there a list of changes / bug fixes for the different versions anywhere?

Many Thanks in advance

Nev

Might not have bluetooth nev. Mine is a 2008 exclusive, and it has a slot for the phone sim card. No pairing with bluetooth. Yours might be a later model though.

Hi

Am fitting a towbar on my C5 and the heat shield above the rear exhaust box is just floating around as all the fixings have corroded.

Do I actually need to have this above the rear box. I wouldn't have thought it gets hot and I can't see what it would protect anyway if it did.

Thanks

Hi all,

Lately, I was greeted by “Check Engine Oil Level” when I turned on the engine. I thought may be it is a norm for an old year 2007 engine to consume some oil. So I gradually pour in almost a litre of engine oil but to no avail. Am still getting the message. I pulled out the dipstick and found out that the oil stain level is quite low. I...

Last post

The most common cause of engine oil use in the petrol 16v engines is hardening of the valve stem seals, causing oil to be consumed b the engine. Quite a large job Iam afraid
With my Xantia I did engine flush each time I changed oil and it helped a lot the condition of seals. The oil consumption was almost nothing considering the age of the car...

The caliper , when replacing, only usually comes with the piston, which you then bolt onto the caliper mount with two 13mm bolts (spanner size) . It is the sliders that these bolts go into that seize, and not the caliper itself.
Usually the only way to repair is to remove these sliders and clean them meticulously, or replace the caliper mount...

The deflection in the belt is reasonably normal when revving the engine, it is caused by the different speeds of each pulley fighting against each other at certain revs.
