ThomasG Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Driving quite quickly home last night - then the coil light comes on, flashing. Because phone is playing spotify I can ask it to tell me what it means! I get some generic stuff, but at least I know - as it drops in to limp mode - I'll get home. So, home and scan. I get the p00af00 - turbocharger/supercharger boost control "a" module performance. I've looked this up and I am hoping it's just the boost control module. If I clear codes, the car is fine when I start it - but if I rev it the flashing begins. Anyone else had experience of this, and the possible cost 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasG Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Thanks!! It's booked in for Monday/Tues. Any links would help. The garage is good at going with pointers. It didn't come on just now when I reversed. I even blipped the revs. But it needs to be looked at. I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasG Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Crappy plastic gears. What !Removed!. Took the garage a wee bit to find this, even though I mentioned it. But they also caught a failing solenoid. Attached is pic of those !Removed! plastic parts. Worn worm screw and teeth chipped off the gear. So much for a "glow-plug" warning!

Hi Thomas the Ford ones were a bit different they had bigger gears with more teeth to strip I rebuilt a couple of mine but ended up buying a new unit it was cheaper than keep buying repair kits which only lasted about 40k, they are a real engineering atrocity.

Nate0104 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Do you have a part number for this part? I'm getting the same kind of issue. Just want to check prices and then can give my mechanic a heads up on what to look out for. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasG Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Oh, I'll have to see if I kept the part!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same problem… only when the turbo gets hot I think. How did you solve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi if you read the post in depth it tells you and shows you the box that he replaced on the turbo and has the added bonus of the part number.

Gabriela Vitisan Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Hy, I have the same type of car and it gives me the same error. I am waiting for the part with 6NW 009 550 to arrive and to change it I have a question does the part 6NW 009 550 need to be programmed again or did you just change the part and that's it? Thank you for an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasG Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 The garage changed it - but it shouldn't need coding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
