Hi everyone, does anyone know of a mobile mechanic, or good garage in the Widnes Cheshire area that can help me out? Basically have P2563 and P5264 codes, after driving a short time the glow plug light flashes and after a bit more driving the EML light also comes on and goes into limp mode. I am being passed from pillar to post with ideas but all conflicting to each other. I would just like to get it sorted out in one go. It’s 2013 1.6tdi CLHA

P2563 is the code that gets thrown up if the turbo-vanes get stuck due to excessive carbon build up.  I think you've got the Euro 5 engined car - and that its had its VW EA189 recall?

Anyhow, a common misnoma - VAG engines like to be exercised.  The turbo vanes become seized if the car is not worked hard enough.  Its a TDI and TSI thing.

 

Try manually working the turbo vanes by hand, then run a tank of super diesel through it and take the car on a long/fast/hard run - high revs - give it the BEANS - and do this as a regular thing.

Keeps the engine working well.

Thanks for the info, yesterday I bought a vacuum tester and activated the actuator several times (it keeps pressure ok) fault was still there but it was close to a regen it then done a regen which lasted a lot longer than normal and hopefully it’s done the trick. Is it worth putting an additive in the diesel?

Yes, a cetane improver helps or super diesel.
