Hi Dean, that’s your differential pressure sensor. It’s mounted on the front slam panel closer to the driver side. On a 2009 car like yours it will have 2 pipes going into it. Easy to change. I’ve rarely seen them fail, have a close look at the plug and wiring, maybe there’s a break somewhere.

I didn’t see the OP state he was seeing any faults logged for rail pressure, in fact I haven’t seen any specific faults noted at all, just anecdotal diagnostics. I think he’s following the correct path, but I also know from experience that you can’t rely on a basic glow plug test on these as...

Replace your glow plugs. Use genuine or original Bosch items.

Most likely failing glow plugs. Otherwise a sticking egr, try blanking it temporarily. MAF error is likely if you’ve used a non genuine part. Stick to OEM (even a used one)

I’m guessing it’s a 2.4 petrol variant

I still say it’s a broken wire, you haven’t checked thoroughly enough.

Far better an idea to blank it and map it out. Car will run much better, with improved economy and throttle response.

Yep almost certainly a cracked egr pipe. We solve these weekly with our solution, drop me a line if you want details.

No unfortunately they’re Euro5 diesel which is not compliant.

Not sure I understand. Yes the car has a valid mot. And we solved the over heating problem almost immediately, it was simply a split hose!

I’ll try and keep the story updated here

I’m collecting it tomorrow. The guy who bought it off eBay jerked him around. It wasn’t £400 but not too much more. It’s going to be a project for my 16 year old to learn on, and if we can fix it and flip it.. that becomes his pot for a first car next year. If we lose it all because it’s not...

I’ve seen this listing previously. It’s more likely a head gasket problem.

No issue in removing it on this engine, only benefits.

Just remove your little gasket and use as a template to make one with some metal sheet. It’s not difficult.
