It's MUCH easier to remove and replace the head with the manifold attached.

Timing Chain: The most critical issue; wear leads to rattles, then chain/guide failure, potentially causing catastrophic engine damage (valves hitting pistons).
ECU Water Ingress (Corsa D): Poor ECU placement causes water damage, leading to injector errors (P020x codes), misfires, or complete non-starts.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) & EGR: Clogging from short journeys and carbon buildup causes loss of power, sluggishness, and regeneration issues.
MAF Sensor: Can fail, causing limp mode and reduced power without triggering specific fault codes.
Fuel System: High-pressure fuel pump failures and issues with injector wiring (P2146) or clogged fuel filters occur.
Cold Starting: Can be affected by faulty coolant temperature sensors or glow plugs.


This could be his loss of power.

You said 'recently bought', so I assumed he'd have no idea how it had been used in the past.

He does a fair amount of motorway type driving in it.
Dont know about servicing as he has only had it a few months.
I would like to get some clues for him as he uses his local friendly garage and I have the distinct impression that they rip him off as he knows nothing about engines.
Plus, he is alone in my family of in laws as being the only one I would piss on if he was on fire, as somehow he has turned out to be a half decent bloke. 

If it has been used for short journeys and not given regular oil changes, it's going to be bunged up.

BIL has recently bought a 2018 combo van fitted with the above engine which is giving problems.
Performance is a bit sluggish and light on the dash (EML presumably) comes on and off randomly.
He brought it over to me yesterday and I plugged my Autel reader into it, and it gave three codes.

P0235. turbo boost sensor A circuit.
P0069. Manifold absolute pressure barometric pressure correlation.
P0235. ( pending) turbo boost sensor A circuit high.

Other than sticking a £15 ebay boost sensor on it and hoping for the best, Im a bit clueless as to where to start with this.
Anyone got any better thoughts ?

Tia.

To Jaime's point about buying a package and simply not staying at their hotel... you can book a flight and car package with us anywhere on the OneWorld network.

Most of our flights are full. The exception being random short haul flights where we either have two or more flights timed closely together (for slot retention and connection purposes) or  places that aren't exactly on the radar... Dusseldorf being a case in point. The wokists have shot themselves in the head wrt the US. Over two thirds of our east bound trans Atlantic passengers are connecting on to other flights. Going west it's a smaller number but it's probably 50/50 business and leisure both ways although the actual ratio in Club  varies route to route.

Basically we sell to the people who want to travel and there's no shortage of Americans and Europeans travelling either way.


The morons running the UK haven't helped by doubling APD

More importantly why would you ever fly with Ryanair...

Me, flying out from Malaga. Key requirement is middle of day flights. My days of getting up early or arriving at 11 pm are done. Whoever has the decent time gets my money.

That's no excuse. Even Vueling would be better

Remember years ago (80's)  the best deals where the last minute ones.

One couple used to go to east midlands with luggage for hot or cold travel.

They once had 10 day in a 3 star hotel somewhere  for £3 each they said.

Thats now ordered, £179, which I'm happy with.

That's a beast of a setup, and good discount too, considering iirc the CFS on creality's site is £289 at full price. My k2 is currently in its box blocking up our hallway as I haven't had time to do anything with it since it turned up yesterday. Not sure where the 16kg of hyper PLA is going to live when it turns up sometime in the next hour
