Brothers Auris (66 plate, d4d 1.6 Diesel engine) is showing p0299 - low boost. He heard a pop, followed by a massive loss of power and engine light coming on. Couldn’t access anything properly when I went to have a look and forgot my inspection camera, d’oh. You can hear the turbo spooling - whining away - but couldn’t spot the leak. I’d assume that wastegate would throw its own fault (like my neighbour’s Skoda did), so hoping it’s just a hose that’s come off.
One thing I’ve noticed is how little info is available via my Googling, both my Astra and e46 have so much info available (I assume because they’re a bit older and fairly straightforward) same goes for my wife’s jazz. He just had it serviced and I noticed that they’d failed to clip some of the pipes back into their holders so I half wonder if they’ve bashed something in the process. Deffo jealous of how accessible the air filter is compared to the e46!
Cleared the lambda sensor fault on the jazz and it hasn’t come back on, yet. That’ll teach me for putting a cheapo sensor on.
