Hi. I had an illuminated engine management light on my twin air 4x4 Panda.
A friend has a plug in thingy which says “ Waste gate valve (functional test) signal compare failure” There is also a number - P024462
What does all this mean please? The car is driving fine!
Many thanks in advance.
 
Urly TwinAir's have showed some WasteGate problems.
My Nov 2012 Panda TA 85 had a worn out wast Gate valve axle, and needed a Turbo revision.
The Waste Gate Valve is part of the hot side of the turbo, and can't replace separately.
Repairing it with Parts and leber will cost around £ 800-900, or a compleet new turbo.
In case of a new Turbo i would directly choose the bigger 105 hp turbo, that is if you have the Euro-6 TwinAir. ;)
 
Thank you for the information. Not what I wanted to hear but to be honest, I suspected it was going to be expensive! ��
After the prop shaft centre bearing and dual mass flywheel failures last year I am beginning to fall out with this car.
I can’t remember owning a car which cost so much in repairs!
