Re: Torque converter problem identified - what is the outlook if left unresolved?

Have you had the codes interpreted? I encountered a comparable problem, and my amicable specialist recommended the TC (without inspection).....it ultimately revealed a defective EGR.....the warning light only activated as the situation deteriorated.

Thank you for your message. I will post back after I have updated you on the status of the high pressure pump that we ordered last night. Everything you've done to assist me is greatly appreciated.

Re: Do not start 2012 2.2 diesel Evoque; fuel problem
