Already fitted the blanking plate to by pass one of the initial problems. The engine fault light went off yesterday by itself, so maybe the 'inlet' EGR cleaner spray I used and the 30 mile driven has freed off the valve for now? Will clear any remaining codes later this week and see what comes...

Yes my car does not have the DPF, it’s VIN just shows a CAT with no DFP fitted. Temporarily if the EGR was unplugged like it would be with EGR delete kit will that keep the engine fault off. (Blank plate fitted)

So to update this thread. I also started to receive these other error codes from time to time (as attached). Looks like the EGR also needs a clean. As a test (and will probably stay even after the EGR is removed for cleaning) I installed an EGR blanking plate on the return to the throttle...

After some more checks today found the 10a fuse was blown. Replaced and o2 sensor faults all cleared. Still have an issue with starting and zero bhp between 1k and 2k revs then take off once turbo kicks in at 2k, so now just this to sort out.

Replaced today but now have a different error. P0031-11 Permanent Universal heated exhaust gas oxygen sensor heater control circuit low (bank 1, sensor 1).

I'm going to have a go at changing it this weekend. Thanks for the information provided.

So from below it is then, thought it would be. WD40 and pray the exhaust does not get damaged. Assume from the photo it is plugged in on the top? Guess I can drop a wire from the top to tape the sensor cable to it? Or to use a wire grabber after to get it?

Just to add the issue is poor cold starting and zero BHP below 2000k revs. All 4 Glow Plugs were replaced (old ones worked when tested but were a little slow to heat up (directly on a battery)) After 2000k revs everything fine once the turbo kicks in. The only code on the scanner is P0030-13...

I need to replace the O2 sensor, Bank 1 Sensor 1. I believe this is the sensor just before the CAT (after the manifold). I have removed the engine undertay to take a look, I can see it but how the hell do you get to it to replace? I have a 3rd party sensor and a set of various 22mm sockets...
