Title: Fault codes 17,44,49
Post by: Kneepad on 24 August 2010, 23:42:50

I had poor reaction from the gas pedal especially going uphill, decided to check for blockage in pipe from egr to underside of manifold. No blockage but the pipe was split just below the nipple under the manifold.
Cut off bad section and reconnected, this gave an immediate and very noticeable increase in response.
Did paperclip test and got the following:

17      Fuel Temperature Voltage High
44      Incorrect Boost Pressure
49      Glow Device General Error

The car is running very well and starting without any problems. Only concern is that the temp gauge rarely goes above 50 degrees. I plan to change the thermostat (when I figure out how) I suspect it's stuck open.

I assume 44 is a result of the split pipe and will eventually clear itself.
I assume 49 is one or more dodgy glow plugs, although the car starts first time now I did have a bit more difficulty starting over the winter. As for 17 I don't have a clue.

Any suggestions  or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks I'll update this when I get the new plugs.
