A practical look at diesel ownership, city use, emissions systems, and when a used German diesel still makes sense.
P0302: Cylinder 2 misfire detected
The ECU detected repeated combustion misfires on cylinder 2.
P0102: Mass-air-flow circuit low input
The MAF sensor signal is lower than expected for the engine speed and load.
P0121: Throttle / pedal position sensor range / performance
The ECU sees a throttle or accelerator-position signal that is outside the expected relationship.
P0128: Coolant thermostat below regulating temperature
The engine is taking too long to reach expected operating temperature or is running cooler than the ECU expects.
P0141: Oxygen sensor heater circuit, bank 1 sensor 2
The downstream oxygen sensor heater circuit is not reaching expected operation.
P0172: System too rich, bank 1
Fuel trim has reached a rich threshold because the ECU is removing more fuel than expected.
P0217: Engine coolant over-temperature condition
The engine controller recorded coolant temperature above its safe operating threshold.
P0234: Turbocharger overboost condition
Boost pressure exceeded the ECU's permitted target for the operating condition.
P0236: Turbo boost sensor range / performance
The charge-pressure signal is outside the expected range or disagrees with operating conditions.
P0299: Turbocharger underboost condition
The engine did not produce the boost pressure requested by the controller.
P0325: Knock sensor circuit malfunction
The ECU is not receiving a plausible signal from the knock sensor circuit.
P0402: Exhaust-gas recirculation flow excessive
The ECU detects more EGR flow than requested, often because the valve is not closing correctly.
P0420: Catalyst efficiency below threshold, bank 1
Upstream and downstream oxygen-sensor behavior suggests insufficient catalyst oxygen-storage performance.
