PROBLEM!! Please help

[Dan279]

hi, im new to this forum, but i have the 1.6 155bhp turbo, basically i used to drive racing everywhere, but ive calmed down a lot recently and been driving carefully for the last 2-3 months, i have a few modifications, i have a front mount intercooler, uprated recirc vlave and a k&n panel filter. up until now i have not had any issues, theyve been on the car for over 4 months. randomly out of nowhere my engine warning light comes on and my car goes into limp mode, ive taken it to a garage but they have no diagnostics machines so they cant accurately tell the problem, but from listening and sight they've seen that my actuator arm is loose, would this cause my car to go into this mode? im taking it to citroen on thursday but the mechanics there are useless, any help as to what this issue could be? if it is the actuator is this easily fixed? also i have lost all boost pressure, it feels like the turbo is innactive

thanks a lot,
Dan

I would start looking for boost leaks first ....................you take it to a normal dealer with them mods and they will not have a clue and TBH more than lightly will not touch it

I was going to mod my THP but after all the probs I have had I thought better leave alone

Please don't tar every dealer with this brush.

Your dealer will have access to all the necessary diagnostic items but because of the modifications there is no way that you will be able to claim under warranty but they will be at least able to help solve what ever issue has arisen. Our dealership has stepped in many a time to fix bodged mods by many an amateur spanner monkey.

True I was not having a pop at all dealers but experience tells me if you turn up with loads of extra non Citroen kit on your engine more often or not they go blank

This..

BCC Bolton were kind enough to replace my Fuel pump when I thought my warranty would be invalid due to the mods in place.

I've since been in to look at another problem, they've ran it on the diagnostics and given me the faults I need to work on. Unfortunately in this instance they'd be risking their neck with Citroen should they try to claim this one as warranty work so it's back to me to fix.
