Hi everyone, I am seeking for advice..
Recently I bought a 2007 2.2 i-cdi accord tourer ex. On the way home it went into limp mode after 20miles of light country road driving.
The symptoms:
After starting the engine the car runs normal, it pulls as it should for a few minutes. Then the check engine mil comes up along with the glow plug symbol and it doesn't rev above 2000rpm.
If the engine is restarted within a few minutes, then the issue is still present. However, after 15ish mins rest, the issue is gone and the car can be revved up again, pulls well for a few more minutes.
I thought it was the fuel filter when I spotted that it had a non factory one fitted. So I replaced it with a genuine one. Nothing changed, same issue.
Then I realized that there was some oil around the turbo/exhaust manifold/high pressure fuel pump. But I couldn't find the source of the leak yet.
The Delphi diagnostic software gives me the 5F10 - unknown fault code message on the engine.
Plus it says: fuel filter water level sensor--high ( since then I changed the filter however I didn't check if the level is still high).
The previous owner or the dealer managed to overfill the engine oil..5-10mm over the max sign on the dipstick. That still needs draining anyway.
The navigation unit self diagnostic says 1F4 fault is present but I guess that is not related to the engine.
Could the reason be sticking vanes or leaking egr, leaking turbo?
Could you guys please advise me on where to start?
Kind regards N.
