Well just had my 2004 c3 1.4 HDI 16v plugged in and have had errors cleared and lights out , all the problems arose after i shortened the actuator rod ( now put back to original )
THESE ARE THE CODES ANY ADVISE WOULD BE COOL and i have ordered a new air solenoid valve and will be cleaning out all air pipes and egr over weekend
is there any point blanking off egr valve ( did on my old discovery and was better )

CODES BELLOW BEFORE BEING CLEARED

Thanks Tim

Hi Tim,

Delete the codes, all of them that will go. They may be old, years old, but you have kept a copy above.

Then run the engine, take a test drive and read the codes again.

This way you get only current and fresh codes to deal with, other than ones from potentially, years ago.

The old ones are good to keep for future repeat problems diagnosis.

Yes.

Did you try disconnecting the MAF - Mass Airflow sensor electrical connection to see if it makes a difference to your lack of power below 3000RPM?
