I have 2000 313CDI Sprinter turbo diesel which looses power for no particular reason at various intervals, I had it scanned and the fault code that came up was : P1470 charge pressure control, does anyone know what this is referring too so that I can repair it.
Hi Mr T,
this is the turbo boost presure controller, it regulates boost by varying the vacuum at the wastegate/bypass actuator. I'd check all the vac hoses & the wiring. I've been having the same probs with my 108cdi vito & haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet
Had this same problem with turbo not working. Total lack in power but not on limp mode or no EDC light was lit. Just no turbo when accelerating.
Took it to HAC Nottingham for code read, and it came up with 3 possible faults.
1) Crank shaft sensor
2) Break pedal switch
3) Boost pressure sensor (as above)
This Boost pressure sensor is located under the vehicle between the engine and bulkhead on the driver’s side. This was changed and all was OK.
Tell me Sarge, where is this fault sheet from? I have Auto data 2005, but that seems to be quite limited to fault code diagnostics.
