Other faults are AC and window switches etc. I've just gave the car full service including oil, filters and glow plugs. Anyone suggest what to check on the car physically based on these fault codes?

A3 Smoke and Limp Mode
I would be inclined to agree but the only way I can describe the smell of what comes out of that car is an ice cream van, you know the transit ones. I’ve also considered that it might have a really crap DPF delete too. I suppose nothing is guaranteed until I take it to someone. What would you recommend?

A3 Smoke and Limp Mode
Hi, I’ve recently got myself a 2009 A3 Sport 1.9TDI. Only cost me £400 so bit of a fixer upper. I’ve got 2 main issues with it. It smokes pretty heavily under hard acceleration, white/grey smoke. And when idling at lights I get a lot of blue smoke. Water levels are not dropping, so not likely to be head gasket. the other problem I have is glow plug lights start flashing at 73MPH+. The car has had what I can describe as a pretty shoddy DPF delete, just based on the welding. I have a basic OBD cable but am waiting on a Ross tech clone from china. Is anyone in or around King’s Lynn that could plug it in and have a look please? (Can’t travel due to no MOT) The codes I managed to pull were 01134 - Alarm Horn - Malfunction detected 16346 - Control Module - Module defective 00819 - High Pressure Sensor - Short to ground 01592 - Air Quality Sensor Any ideas regarding the smoking and limp mode would be much appreciated.
