Hi everyone,
Before setting off on a 500 mile round trip yesterday in my wife's newly purchased 2016 T6 Kombi (private sale, 90,000 miles) I did a code scan on the van and a P010100 code showed up related to the Mass Airflow sensor. On the first leg of the journey, my wife did the first half of the driving and I monitored the presence of codes (as well as DPF data and other live data) and the code kept coming back. Later in the journey the code stopped coming up and was replaced with a P245700 code that then kept coming up in relation to the temperature of the EGR cooler.
The seller of the van a few days ago advised it is running a stage 1 map that includes the deletion of the EGR from the ECU. EGR blanks have NOT been fitted yet but it was/is my intention to do so. The Van seems to be regenerating the DPF just fine and drives considerably better than our other standard 150, overall it feels much more powerful and much much smoother albeit perhaps a little flat at sub 2,000 rpm at low speeds.
The only other matters of note are:
A) There appears to be quite heavy oil misting to the lower joint of the turbo to charge cooler pipe
B) I have noticed the rocker cover appears to be leaking and oil is noticeable across it's full width.
C) I cleaned the MAF before setting off on the journey noted above.
D) The van has recently had the cambelt, water pump, crank seal replaced and a full service including fuel filter undertaken. I also gently cleaned the MAF with contact cleaner.
E) Coolant level in the last 400 miles has remained the same.
Gut feel is to blank the EGR appropriately and monitor the oil misting to the joint between the turbo and charge cooler connection, possibly then replacing the seal in this location but also investigating if there's a leak from where the breather goes into the manifold down there too.
Only other thought was to try and check the intercooler for any leaks...
Does anyone else have any advice that may help me in solving the issue...?
Many thanks

. The van does sound a bit more "boosty" than our other T6 150ps though....
