This was my thoughts Beau.Judging by the fact the check engine light comes on at 2k, it could be something boost related. Check for possible boost leaks in the engine bay
The 100 series Guys use Techstream. I’m guessing it will work on the 120 but would be good for somebody to confirm.
There is a chance it might not recur , Thats why its good to have a scanner in the car , I have one in the armrest box , a tecstream is good to have I have both but its no good out on a trip as some of it it runs off the internet and needs a laptop . BTW did you find a scanner you liked on ebay . mine is the d900 its £20 on ebay .Update! Drove to work this morning, All fine, Garage did a diagnostic thing, Came up as P1252, Step motor for turbocharger control circuit (open/ short)...... The garage re set. its been fine for the rest of the day.. I gave it some welly on the way home all seems fine.... Let it develop he said, and he will look into the replacement part.. Lets hope that's simple!
My mate at the garage did a full diagnostics test, Old codes etc, Everything came back normal, and no bad history, His machine was Bluetooth, nice bit of kit,, it even came up as no faults to drivers door..What a waste of electronics. So a fault on the drivers door could bring your truck to a Halt... Why don't they just pool the money and make an engine that doesn't breakdown. f@*K! the drivers door... Sorry rant overWell Beau gets the prize for being closest with a boost fault. Glad it’s found. Check for any wiring damage around that area or along the loom between there and the ECU. This one I’ll wager has been on and off for a while and may even be the reason the car was sold. Intermittent faults are a pig to find.
Somebody in your family must really love that cursed Smart car... Im taking its not you?History can be cleared with the right scan tool.
The Cursed Smart Car has a clear history. Well at least since it’s had it all cleared on the Star system. Again!!!!!
I’m learning to love it. It owes me far too much to part with it.Somebody in your family must really love that cursed Smart car... Im taking its not you?
I know what you mean, we've got a polo and a skoda fabia on the drive. I love the little polo its a little petrol pocket rocket. Its not even done 50,000. its like the back up car... Im thinking of getting rid of the LC. and running about in the polo. If this LC5 starts playing up....... its goingI’m learning to love it. It owes me far too much to part with it.
It serves as a constant reminder never to buy a computerised car with a fault on it, even if you think you might just be clever enough to fix it!!
Going? What do you mean going? You’ve only had one code! No staying power!I know what you mean, we've got a polo and a skoda fabia on the drive.

What do you mean Only one code.... How many do these 120s throw up before you give in... or are they infiniteGoing? What do you mean going? You’ve only had one code! No staying power!
I tried a Polo once, couldn’t get in it! Instantly hated the thing and bought a 205 XS instead. Now that was a pocket rocket.
LOL! I was waiting for that Nick
