Driving home from work tonight found I was in safety boost, then notised a LOUD tapping from the engine. Stopped and opened the bonnet and it sounds like a bloody diesel! :(

 

Done ECU check and nothing. Code 55 :confused:

 

Car idles and runs smooth and with all cylinders, just it keeps going into safety boost and that tapping is always there.

 

Ideas?

if you were in safety boost would this give code 55 on the ecu?

could be a fvcked lifter and the dett sensor is picking the sound up thinking its detting, hence safety boost :confused:

Sometimes the error code is not stored, so ingition off it clears the error, take the reading and 55 all clear.
