Hey all. Apologies in advance for the long-winded post, I have some history with this car. Bought my '04 back in 2010. Ran great on the test drive, went into limp mode on the first real drive. Not knowing much about diesels, or this site , took it to an import shop and they replaced turbo. Still went into limp mode, took it back and they said I wrecked the turbo again and need to replace it again, NOPE! I got it scanned and was getting overboost code. Besides going into limp mode it ran fine and I only drove it a few miles a day to work and back so I just ignored the problem, for years. A couple years ago it started dying randomly so I parked it in the boneyard. Now that fuel is crazy I have pulled it out and hope to turn it into my road trip car. First thing I did was go through the turbo lines, found a leak and replaced line. This eliminated the boost codes, but still going into limp mode and dying randomly. Was getting multiple codes. P0726, P0725, P2637, P2108, P2564. Thanks to this forum I was able to rectify the dying issue and codes 0726, 0725, 2637 by replacing the crank speed sensor. Now I'm back to square one, but without any boost codes. Just P2108 and P2564. I know I'll be told to invest in vcds but the funds aren't available at the moment. As far as I can tell P2108 is related to the anti-shudder valve and P2564 is the turbo actuator sensor. I checked the wiring at the actuator sensor end, seems fine. Next step was to check the wires at the ECU end, but my research on here is telling me neither of these codes should cause limp mode. I know I still need to deal with both codes, but am I barking up the wrong tree as far as keeping this baby out of limp mode? If neither of these codes should cause limp mode, why am I getting no other codes such as over/under boost? Just because I'm not using vcds? Any help would be much appreciated! Also if there is anyone in southeast Sask with vcds I would love to meet up!
