Engine fault following walnut blast

[the1bandit]

Totally agree Old Bloke. I appreciate that Jamie hasn't done the work but is giving his time to advise.

I have given up and will be taking the car into the garage. I won't be mentioning blasting unless it's brought up. Fingers crossed I get it solved and I definitely won't be fiddling with the car for a long while!

When i took mine into Citroen for their equivalent of blasting, the engine looked like a bucket of old dirty water been slung over it. So best check it all looks reasonably clean.
Then take it in- they never found my remap on several occasions (Altho they overwrote it once :-(

Thanks Chris, it had some shells around the cover but I have brushed and blown them away. Fingers crossed!

You'll be fine. They just plug their machine in and see what is says

Cant remember what I'd rehearsed to say if someone had said "You had this car remapped"

But something along the lines of bleeding lying and keeping my fingers crossed behind my back ;-)

A dealership mechanic ain't gonna see when they put laptop in that it's been mapped!

No- not unless they scrutinise the Turbo boost pressures.
The main problem is, whenever there is a fault they seem to updaate the software which overwrites the map. They dont even tell you.

i work for a citroen dealership and if there is a engine problem the first thing we check is turbo preasures

For what reason?

They didnt check my boost pressure... several occasions

In the end they swapped the injectors, reset the ECU, replaced the ECU, replaced the HPFP and never checked the boost pressures....
In fact i had to nip back up to see James.... very good service from James :-)

Hi all

Just to let you know that following almost a week in the garage the vvt solenoid was replaced and the car handed back to me. Didn't last long because first start it faulted.

Back in the courtesy car and Citroen UK diagnosed the lead to the vvt needed replacing. The techs drove the car a dozen times today and it seems back to normal.

Really puts me off doing anything else to the car!

That's good the car seems back to normal

Just hold off thru the winter on any modifying to the engine

Glad you got it sorted
