After replacing the valve cover and the oil lines for turbo (included taking off the exhaust manifold) I have the following codes:
-P0599, (piloted thermostat), P2603 (electric water pump) and P2279 (Intake air flow inconsistent)
-Most importantly DEPOLLUTION ERROR (which I assume is from running way too rich)
-it is blowing soot out the tailpipe, and the spark plugs are black (freshly replaced with the other work, the old ones weren't black)
So something I did has caused this to happen (bad part or bad skills)
Note: I also replaced the water pump and thermostat after seeing those codes but neither went away (I can deal with them later)
Compression is good (140, 145, 145, 140)
Voltage to the Upstream O2 (1.5v) clearly shows it is running way too rich (along with the black plugs)
Any suggestions? I assume the exhaust manifold isn't leaking. It doesn't sound loud and there isn't any visible exhaust gases. (I know a leaking exhaust manifold could cause it to run rich.)
Main concern is to stop it running so rich , which I assume will get rid of the depollution error.
P.S. I replaced the valve cover a second time and same issue.
P.P.S. If there is a good mechanic/enthusiast in Melbourne area that will come look at it to diagnose for a fee or even help diagnose based on readings from my scanner (i.e. live data) I am happy to pay
