DS3 1.6 HDi P0100

[BecauseItsFrench]

Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this... 2011 DS3 1.6 HDi 110BHP, 118K

I seem to keep having an "Engine Fault: Repair Needed" message come on the dash whenever I accelerate hard which puts the car into limp mode. Plugging it in gives me the code "P0100: Quantity of air above the maximum threshold."

That message makes it sound like it's getting more air than what it's supposed to be getting. I imagine it's probably been getting the same amount of air for a while so I'm not sure why it's now decided it's getting too much (providing I'm understanding it correctly )

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

There's no 110 version of the DS3 - best to pop your VIN up so I can relate the code to the correct engine management system. Please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff.

Sorry for the delay, I've been in hospital and only just got discharged. I'm unable to provide the VIN at present as I won't have the car with me for around another week. I am a little confused as to why you say there's no 110 version? From what I understand there's 4 different variations for the 1.6 diesel (90, 110, 115 and 120)

If you could elaborate on what you mean by there being no 110 version that'd be great, thanksl

1.6 HDI variants for the DS3:

DV6C (Euro 5): 115
DF6FD (Euro 6): 100
DV6FC: 115
DV6FC (Euro 6): 120
DV6DTED (Euro 5): 93
DV6DTEDM (Euro 5): 93
DF6FE (Euro 6): 75
DV6ATED4: 92

There may be some confusion over the designations / and power output which may be why.

It's why we ask for the VIN so I can relate the fault code to the specific engine management system & Engine, as they have different triggering reasons and parameters and other factors like suspect areas depending on the exact variant.
