I've had my C4 1.6 e-HDi Airdream VTR+ EGS6 5dr (I think that's how they describe it!) for 10 days.
It's a 61 plate (October 2011) with only 15k on the clock (one former 80+ year old owner).
Leaving a roundabout, the dash lit up like a Christmas tree with about every warning under the sun, and bells and beeps to go with it.
The central display now alternately reads "ESP/ASR System Faulty" and (less helpfully) "Engine Fault: Repair Needed". The car is driveable, but sounds like it is misfiring and won't go above 15mph.
RAC have been out and done e-diagnostics, which revealed this list:
DTC: P1445,The quantity of additive injected into particle filter has exceeded the maximum threshold. The particle filter must be changed.
DTC: P0017,Starting Monitoring, synchronisation time too long
DTC: P2291,The rise in pressure in the injection rail is too slow on starting
DTC: U1218,CAN: One of the parameters present in a data stream sent by the BSI is invalid
DTC: P1AA2,Voltage retaining device, internal fault
DTC: P2299,Accelerator pedal position sensor
DTC: U1209,CAN: One of the parameters present in a data stream sent by the gearbox ECU is invalid
DTC: P0271,Injector cylinder 4
DTC: U1213,CAN: One of the parameters present in a data stream sent by the ABS/ESP is invalid
DTC: P0500,Speed information faulty
Concerned at the number of faults, the RAC then cleared the fault list and now it only comes back with
DTC: P0271,Injector cylinder 4
Does it sound like I have one fault or more? I can't work out how the "ESP/ASR System Faulty" warning relates to an injector problem?
Thanks,
Bill.
