focus tdci - Will downloads clear my fault codes - richard5050

Local garage found that I had a split intercooler pipe. However they were unable to clear fault codes p0380 p0490 and p042F. I wondered if taking it to the maindealer will clear codes when they do up to date downloads. Already spent a lot of money on my 2007 tdci. Just wondered if anyone can point at what else might be the problem if this fails. Thanks

Why cant the garage delete the fault codes ? iether its because the fault codes are permenant ! ie they havent fixed the fault or they dont have the correct kit ! ie just using a basic EOBD code reader.

The codes relate to glow plug circuit & EGR valve stuck closed & one code may be EGR stuck partial open.

A down load wont fix these ! I would suggest you first fine a garage that knows what they are doing as these are basic elementry everyday fault codes !

The down load i suspect has been referred to is a DPF regen update as one of the codes may relate to a restricted DPF but you need the issues fixed first.
