V0NST3V3 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hi all, hope someone can help. Did an oil and filter change on an 1.6tdci ford Smax this morning, then gone to drive it and it's come up with engine malfunction. Given that I have touched so few systems I'm thinking it's either too much oil - would that throw an error, or I haven't fitted the new filter correctly. I have an OBD2 reader and it just said manufacturer control, which brings up no results anywhere. Edit - I have checked the oil level and it's half way between that marks on the dipstick so I don't think too much oil would be the problem. Edit 2 - Turns out I don't know how to read my OBD2 scanner, the error is P2598 which is turbo related! Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterTechTip Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Without knowing what the code is it's hard to say, especially if you've only touched the oil and oil filter? Did you disconnect the MAF sensor, is it plugged back in properly? Have you trapped a vacuum pipe in the oil filter housing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Is the oil pressure light on as well? If not, the filter shouldn't be restricting the flow. I reckon you've just accidentally knocked a sensor tbh. Or left the air pipe loose after refitting? You'd need Forscan to read the Ford specific code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V0NST3V3 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Just added an edit, for some reason I didn't notice that the fault code showing was P2598 which is the turbo. I must have knocked something or its just a really bad bit of timing that something has gone wrong now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V0NST3V3 Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Thanks for all your help, the line wasn't trapped but had come off the bottom of the actuator. It was super loose so didn't take much to fall off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
