P0265 Fault code

Post by milan »

Hi a couple of days ago I sat in my car at idle (2011 1.6l 3008) and could feel it was a bit lumpy/rough but didn't think much of it. So the next day I drove from Birmingham to London and after around 80 miles I had a warning come up on the dash "Engine Fault, Repair Needed" so pulled over to the hard shoulder as I think I momentarily lost power, so turned the car off and waited a bit and back on, the error was still there but managed to drive the remainder of the journey OK. During this whole journey I do not recall it feeling rough at idle at all.

Once I got to my office I checked the fault code with my OBD2 reader and it came up with code 'P0265 -Cylinder 2 Injector Circuit High'. I then got a bottle of injector cleaner and poured it into the fuel tank and cleared the error code. I will let my fuel run down and then top it up with some better quality fuel along with some more injector cleaner.

Fault code has not reappeared today but only done a couple of very short journeys.

Any ideas of what I could check to get this issue fixed? I imagine I could look at replacing the injector but don't think they are cheap at all. Also is there any instructions how to replace injectors, or do they just need a clean?

How many miles has the vehicle done?

Are those injectors not prone to coming loose?

Re: P0265,P0100 & P2563 Fault code

Post by milan »

I drove another 100 miles and had 2 more fault codes come up which were:
P0100 - Mass or volume Air flow A circuit
P2563 - Turbocharger bost control position sensor A circuit range/performance

Any ideas of what the next steps would be to start looking how to rectify?

I know that there may just be one issue but sometimes other fault codes will occur so really not sure where to start looking?
