Auris 2.2 T180 P0088 Error Code

[m700n]

Hi all,

This is the first time posting on this forum so bare with me. I have been having quite a few issues with my Auris and could do with some advice. The first thing that happened was when I put my foot down in first and then changed to second the engine management light came on, the traction control light and check vsc. The car then went into limp home mode so I turned the car off and then on again and the power returned but the lights stayed on.

When I got home I checked the car for error codes and the only one that came up was P0088 fuel rail/system too high. I cleared the code off and it only returns if I floor it in first and second.

The other issue that is really annoying is when I try to start it it takes 3 - 4 attempts to start and then when driving it normally, it randomly cuts out on me and then takes a couple of attempts to start it again.

I have read a lot on this forum about the Suction Control Valve failing so think it might be this but just wanted some advice.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Think is why I have always used a lube with my diesel! Especially when using a supermarket one! Either using 2T oil or millers or Archoil with our low sulphur derv...

Do you add additives everytime you fill up?

Do you add additives everytime you fill up?

Always... These ULS fuels are great for the tree's! But lost most of the lube properties. If you use Shell V-POWER derv then you won't need any with this GTL semi synthetic fuel as it has 25% more additives than normal Dino fuels... I just like to use other additive with mine as I bought a load of Archoil AR6200 stuff a while back and need to use it up...

Cheers for all the advice

Bang in a tin of BG244 every 10k... will help keep the system in good condition
