Noticed today that there is also an option in Lexia, "air pump presence", obviously in mine it was absent as yours should be.

Also found the setting for the video screen turn off. Mine is set to 5km but there seems no way of changing it!

Ah ha. I had NOT marked the DPF as "absent" - but it now needs the magic code number to accept my instruction... any idea what it is?

Please ignore that last - the number was in one of my notebooks: 03114. Worked a treat.

Car now has no particulate filter, the air pump was already marked as "absent".

has it cured your problem though? You may have to check the engine ecu too as some of the items are duplicated in that ecu.

I don't know yet. Is the engine ECU menu within the injection one? The guys who knocked the filter out installed a new map with the particle filter deleted. But he had no access to Lexia or PP2000...

Also deleted the additive system - which has satisfyingly eliminated the filler cap fault.

Yes, just curious to know whether they replaced the DPF filter with a straight through pipe or did they drill holes through it or did they just leave it as is?

Also did they take away the FAP tank or is it still sat underneath?

They took the DPF off and knocked out all the filter core - leaving the FAP tank. For MOT purposes it all looks as untouched -ish, The bolts holding the filter on are new.

I just came up a long hill near here in 4th using a bit of welly - plenty of black stuff from the tailpipe but no anti-pollution system fault. The guys who knocked the filter out said there would be smoke for a while. Now for the ABS pre-tensioners fault!

Let's hope the light stays off for good now then.

Got my new fuel filler sensor fitted today so that fault doesn't come up anymore.

Still had P0110 showing. Changed the air box flow meter (it's great having a garage load of spares sometimes!) and now no light coming up on this one anymore. So I now also have a nice 2.0 D auto to zip around in.

How strong is the magnet on your filler cap? Having told the car it has no additive system it's no longer a problem for us, but the magnets had no effect on the reed/hall switch.

Are you sure the problem wasn't the connector block? I had a problem with the wiper motor connector; it looked fine but couldn't get it to work properly until I soldered a new one onto the loom.

When I fitted the new cap sensor I measured the resistance between the two connectors leading from it - as the filler cap was rotated so as to bring the magnets into position - or removed - there was NO change on the multimeter. Holding a magnet nearby did the trick. (It was a brand new sensor, btw.)

Today before deleting the presence of the additive system, pulling the stuck on magnet off and re-sticking it changed the fuel filler cap from "permanent" to "temporary". Something funny there. Anyway, no additive system = no faults. I'll have a rummage in the injection menu tomorrow just in case there's a remnant of either the FAP or the Eolys/Infineum system hiding in there. Shame really, I put nearly £100 of fluid in the tank about 6 months ago. Perhaps I should pump some of it back out and sell it!

The management light was off for some time - but today came back on in the usual place, at the top of a hill near us. The list of faults in the injection system is impressive - P1451, P1107, P1402 and P133. Scantool also show that P0413 fault. All seem to be swirl/electrovalve related... One says EGR short or open circuit - but the EGR was supposedly deleted in the new map. Grrrrr...!

I'm beginning to wonder how good that place is that did the removal!

I've not had any glimpse of the engine management light since having mine done 18 months ago.

That light had been coming on for months - always after using even a teeny bit of welly. We drove around using almost no throttle which worked mostly. There were always faults in the injection system and the light came on on the way to the garage who did the removal. I had thought that the dpf was the problem, but I doubt that now. They (well he, actually) is now suggesting mapping the EGR valve back in experimentally.

Here goes with those faults - any help appreciated! BTW, tomorrow I'll be cleaning all the connections I can get to, the MAF, changing the fuel filter... However:

P0413 The optical sensor provides a high resolution signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) by counting pulses on the sensor disk located in the injection pump. The high resolution is one of the most important inputs by the PCM for fuel control and timing. This test monitors the number of high resolution pulses which have been missed (not detected). It's based on a comparison between the number of pulses that were detected since the last pump cam pulse and the number of the pulses that should have occurred. There are approximately 64 high resolution pulses for every cam pulse.

P1107 Dual alternator lower circuit malfunction / MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor circuit Intermittent low voltage (EDC15C2-Swirl solenoid valve)

P1135 deactive 3rd piston high pressure pump

P1135 Pedal position sensor circuit “A” Intermittent

P1402 EGR metering Orifice restricted

P1451 Evaporative emission control system vent control valve circuit

Have you tried using lexia's Fault testing (diagnosis) to try to confirm faults/readings?
Its very good at the very least at pointing you in the right direction and depending on the test will even give you the readings of sensors etc so at least you may get a starting point.

I'm gonna be using it next week to re calibrate my fuel sender/gauge as the diagnosis software allows me to read the actual sender unit resistance per Ltr of fuel!!

Thanks cliky - all those codes were read using Lexia. I haven't yet gone further into looking at measurements. That fuel sender list is endless isn't it - near the bottom of the BSI configuration menu, just above the individual wheel anti-theft coding?

What Lexia doesn't tell me is which of these sensors is where. And as for the P1402 EGR fault, the EGR has been deleted in software...

Itmay be written out of the software but maybe lexia is still looking for it hence the code?

Yet loads of measurements for fuel senders/gauge but mines out by a mile (Did 40miles last week with NO bars showing on my fuel gauge and when full (necked) only reads 7/8 full!!

Would it be of any use to you if I noted the ohm settings in mine and messaged them? Our fuel gauge is spot on. If your readings are the same or similar it might point to a faulty sender.

I've got a few fuel senders on the shelf but just wondering if your rear springs may be worn causing the readings to be out?
