Which engine do you have..?? TDDi 90, 115, 120, 125 or TDCi 135..??

You're talking about the boost pipe from intercooler to the EGR mounted on the inlet manifold....right..??

What fault codes are you getting..?? Is the glow plug light flashing..??

Just get Forscan and one of their recommended cables....It's free to download onto a windows lappy.

It's "OBD" reader...not obc.! OBD stands for "On Board Diagnostics"..

Cheers for the correction, u still knew what I ment an thanks for the definition spelt out clearly!
Is forscan better than a cheap reader?

Forscan is definitely what you want, and the download is free (I'm still using the free version as I've not needed to do anything more than check the system so far, but you can get a free trial period also). Then by an interface tool like this one

Not expensive and works well. Forscan will give you so many more options than a scanner, and the guys one here will be able to help with codes etc.

Good luck
