Hi All,
The above fault code came up after a check with Diagbox.
Clicking on code the following was listed:

Permanent Fault
Air pressure lower than the settings
along with the following data
Engine speed 2912 RPM
Coolant temp 78 c
Speed 133 KPH or 70 mph
Turbo Pressure reference value 2.53 Bar
Turbo Pressure 2.97 Bar
This occurred during acceleration and changing from 5th to 6th gear.
Cleared fault and has not returned since.

Is this the X7?

Re: Faulty code P0234
Thanks Marc,
Yes, it is the X7 Paul
As usual a list of possible fault areas but nothing specific.
Where do you start ?
In the list of symptoms, I have not noticed any of them mentioned.

Re: Faulty code P0234
That's the trouble - any one of these can cause the same symptoms - so a matter of either ignoring it and letting the fault develop (if it ever does - may just be temporary) and see if it then triggers any other codes. Easy enough to clear following the guidance though - 10 full load applications , and foot-offs after the engine is up to temp.
