Hi all right I haven't been here for a while for which I apologise.. Life just gets in the way. But I'm in need for some help to maybe get my car running as it should again. If possible.......

I know she is an old boat now so dependant on cost this might not be worth doing. I understand this fully.

Just to put you in the picture I have recently had my DPF removed and cleaned along with a new battery as I was informed the problems could potentially go away when completed.

So this had Cleared the DPF light but I still gave and engine light and coil flashing light showing. And to make matters worse MOT is end of next month. YEY

Now I have been pushed from pillar to post for several months, most telling me get rid, some wanting to help, but then after spending my money with the above, not interested and after work also some gave unneeded rudeness. I wont name any garages as I'm not here to shame - I just want to potentially get to the bottom of the issues and fix it if possible.

Even if its for another year. its is what it is.

So I do have a very old VAG COM for which I have been trying to give the information to said garages and non is interested at all. Just want to run their Diagostics.

So bellow is what I get when I scan the car based on the Engine issues=

Hi mate. Not an expert on diesels by any means, but seems the first code is related to the variable vanes in the turbochrger. May be that they are all gunked up with carbon. https://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/18995/P2563/009571 I know people used to use Mr muscle oven cleaner to clean them, but there are also specialist products that do the same job. Not sure of the turbo location in your car, but if you can get to it that may be worth a shot.

Second code for the exhaust gas temp sensor, I think that is located close to the DPF, again it could be covered in soot or could just be faulty.
