Finally got round to changing the Glowplugs.....one was very stiff, but managed ok....2 of them wern't heating at all. The P0381 fault code hasnt come back...but the other symptom (8 second delay) is still exactly the same.

Thanks for the above Maurice, a very comprehensive explanation....I think the EGR must be working correctly as its not giving a fault reading, but I now know how to test it if it does....

and re the Glowplugs, Bob mentioned this above as well, I'll certainly try that...

Thanks to both of you

Bit frightened to change the glow plugs, as I know I'll break one!!!! Ive looked the part up and it clearly states here its a boost sensor https://www.yoyopart.com/oem/6660512/renault-1320767.html If you click on the link, then click "interchange parts" and then click on the Bosche model e...

Hi....I dont really like tinkering at all....but was hoping that, as this P0381 fault mentions the word "indicator" in it, it had nothing really to do with the actual glow plugs or relays etc, but was purely logging the fact that sometimes the "glow plug indicator" light on the s...

Hi, when you read diagnostics, some of the codes may be old stored ones. To find out what you've got now, clear the codes, run engine from cold till hot, then read any codes it's telling you now. Those malfunction codes probably point to the glowplugs relay. Could just be connections, haven't done ...

Getting back to one of my fault codes.....P0381... The three listed codes concerning glow plugs are: P0380 Glow Plug/Heater Circuit "A" Malfunction P0381 Glow Plug/Heater Indicator Circuit Malfunction P0382 Glow Plug/Heater Circuit "B" Malfunction If you notice the wording on the...

It was so clean, I did think that it may have been done recently, it "supposedly" had(not sure i really trust the service book) 2 services in the last 8 months, but not sure they would have looked at the EGR. re Looking at the inlet manifold....tbh..I forgot all about that, but as removing...

Got the EGR off yesterday and it seemed really clean but had a bit of carbon dust in it, there was no solid carbon on it, apart from a little bit on the outer surface. I was really hard to get out of its orifice, but I took my time and twisted it a few mm at a time until I could move it about an inc...

Hope to get round to getting the EGR off in the next couple of days....Looking at the picture of it in the post above, will it be necessary to dismantle it further to clean it out, or will all the cleanable bits visible...

Hi again, l've a feeling, and it's only my opinion, that the egr and the inlet manifold need cleaning out completely.(no 5 minute jobs) l know that the car runs ok, it may be only a concern when the car is revved up for the mot. Bob. I thought about this, and wondered if it would fail on its emissi...

5 days ago I p'med you and offered you a copy of the manual I got from ebay, free of charge, you've not even acknowledged my message.

Hi there, l've got the 1.9 dci with 6 gears so rarely go over 2,000 revs. As l understand, the boost pressure sensor is the same as a MAP sensor. My guess is that it needs cleaning, or the inlet manifold needs cleaning out. The EGR dumps exhaust into it and they can get clogged up thus restricting ...

Ive just noticed a guy on ebay apparently gets you your code for 99p...

Might be at least worth a try...

I like to check my mpg on every car I own...My last car before this 1.5dci was a Rover 75...The 1951cc BMW diesel was very economic for me...I once got 60mpg on a Scotland/Scottish Highlands trip of over 1400 miles...and regularly returned over 50mpg on a weekly run about basis.. On the Rover you co...

eBay is a good bet. £20-odd in Halfords, about a fiver on ebay. I used to have an eBay shop selling second-hand Haynes manuals, but no-one fixes their own cars anymore.. I managed to get a .pdf manual off ebay for £1....I also bought a 2002 to 2008 Haynes as well for £9.55 inc postage..the only rea...
