Ohh I forgot to add when I did a pedal test earlier this evening it showed the following codes after ECN:
10008
10021
38004
3800F
It just doesn't seem like anything near 200bhp at all
On my way back from work from Lichfield driving normally as I would on the long stretches of dual carriageways I come up to an island where I see a white Corsa come at speed.. Next thing you know the driver wants a race.. He couldnt keep up but it was quick.. Anyway Come to the main set of traffic lights by Great Barr and theres this Fabia VRS who wants to race so I leave them both off the lights but he still isnt far behind.. Not happy at all.. Enough of my long story my point is I think the 888 is lacking power somewhere. When I slowed down at the speed cameras he was gone and I couldnt catch up. Embarrassingly I couldnt catch the corsa either and that was a 1.7 CDTi SRi 12 Reg.. Could anyone give me any tips on what I could do to get it running healthy again.. In the morning ive noticed that it gives of quite a bit of blueish smoke after struggling to start.. Your help would be much appreciated guys

Have a look in here buddy
You could also check the EGR and boost sensor aren't blocked and check the swirl flaps are working properly...
Thanks mate.. ive just checked them codes but no joy.. Im going to take off the EGR this weekend and give it a good clean. No idea as to where the boost sensor is.
its on the inlet pipe just down from the egr if i remember right
and m8 my bro has a faibia vrs and tis fast tbh shudnt be keeping up with ya tho unless hes had it remaped and stuff
The boost sensor is on the back of the engine near the bulkhead... I'll get a picture of it later for you but it has one bolt holding it in and its got a funny diamond shaped body with a connector attached to it...
Here is a picture of the boost sensor location on the 1.9 CDTi
This is what a new one looks like...
This is probably what yours will look like when you take it out...
Spray it with some carburettor cleaner or similar to get it clean
Cheers guys! Cant wait to have a go and hopefully see some improvements. In terms of swirl flaps, how would I check them? Ive been told that the inlet manifolds been changed already but no receipt to prove so Im not sure. Is there anything I can check myself to see whether it has or hasnt?
