P188900 code

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Has anyone ever come across this code before? Just bought the car and found this code when I got home 😞   Now and again there is a puff of steam coming out the cracks of the bonnet whilst driving too. 

 

I have attached the DTC.

 

Thanks,

 

Gaz

Yes thanks! For some reason I couldn't find anything on it. Even when clicking the Google logo on the OBD eleven. Will have a look at this on the car tomoro and update you from there :)

So......I have found the attached tech instruction on how to replace. I will check it today and make sure there is no coolant leaked from it. Looks an easy replacement so will change it, and hopefully all will be well.

So here is what I have found. The wiring going into the valve has completely split off 😐  Will be getting the wiring repaired of possible 🤞

If you disconnect the connector, there'll very likely be a part number on it. Put that into the ebay search box and you'll probably find results with connectors prefitted with short wire tails.  Jon them up the correct way round, waterproofing each wire join and you're done. :thumbup:
