Thanks for that. I started to take an interest in diesels a few years ago when they began to get fitted with engine management systems. Being conversant with petrol management systems I figured that the diesel systems would not be much different and so it has proved. However, I am not that confident in the "mechanical issues" on these vehicles and am now too long in the tooth to start from scratch to learn about the intricacies of the diesel engine. Saying that, I am happy to learn as I go along by using the interweb and excellent forums such as UKAT. I can also call upon a couple of knowledgeable techs to render advice. I only offer my customers a fault code check and scan which they mostly accept and if I can help further, I will at extra cost. Most accept this before I start and I am happy to keep within my capabilities. However, I am learning all the time and now taking a deeper interest.
Concerning this particular vehicle, I am confident once I did the relevant research as outlined in the previous posts, I would have fixed this thing myself. However, as outlined previously, I was tasked merely to see what DTC's were stored so I can point the garage in the right direction.
Thanks for your interest Carl
