Have been having lots of issues with sticking turbo but think that is fixed now.
Have issue with poor stating if car is left for a few days and the eco stop start doesn't work.
Have the following codes logged.

P164C-00 Internal control module start-stop performance
P0489-00 EGR circuit low
P042E-00 EGR stuck open
P042F-00 EGR stuck closed
P02E8-00 Diesel intake air flow position sensor circuit low

EGR may or may not be ok know as I have been cleaning the turbo with the kit shown in the photo.
Being very new to SDD I am very unsure about what to do or not to do.
In the recommendations there is a list of tests and a column stating Not Run Run
Is it safe for me to hit the Run button.
One of the tests is "Powertrain - Turbo EGR Air and Path Dynamic Test"

Hope this makes sense to someone as I'm well stuck.

Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.

I used SDD for the first time on Monday. I used it to replace my engine ECU/PTM. It's a pretty easy piece of software to use IMO.
If you click on RUN, the routine will run, and you simply follow the on screen prompts.
Once the routine has run, the NOT RUN flag changes to EXECUTED, showing you that you've done that routine.
Here's a picture of SDD after I'd changed the PTM, you'll see it says EXECUTED (I've marked with a red dot), on the configure new module line.

That's very helpful. Have read that SDD in the wrong hands can cause catastrophic damage to some components, hence my hesitation.
With regard to an external power supply would a large battery charger do? Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

I actually found SDD pretty easy to use, as in programming a new PTM was pretty straightforward, even running all the calibrations was easy. Unfortunately my fault remains, so presumably it's not the PTM.

I imagine that in the wrong hands SDD could reek havoc, but it's obviously been designed for "Fitters", not mechanics, so to me it was easy. It's definitely easier to use than the Citroën diagnostic equipment I've used in the past.

The auxiliary power source needs to be pretty beefy. I connected a power monitor to the supply from the Fiat, and kept an eye on the power being delivered to the Freelander. It spent most of the time drawing about 8 Amps, but I did see it peek to just over 10 Amps a couple of times.

Gasman, a large battery charger is better than nothing - ideally you want something with a smooth voltage of 13-14 volts. If the supply is "noisy" there are concerns that it can corrupt the data during module re-programming.

SDD won't let you proceed with a lot of actions if it sees the vehicle battery voltage fall below 12.5v if I remember correctly.

I use one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FJW..._540622621

They are also available on eBay

Thanks for the info Petero.
I have no intention of reprogramming anything, to dam scary. All I want to do is run some of the tests in the recommendations.
I assume that's possible without a big external power supply. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

I found the low battery warning came up pretty quickly. I think I managed 15 minutes or so before the low battery warning came up on the stereo screen.
Obviously engine calibrations are done with the engine running, but programming needs the engine off. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

It depends on how quickly you can do what you need to do - as Nodge mentioned, with the ignition on it will be drawing around 10 amps and it won't take long for the battery voltage to dip. SDD will then prevent you from doing much at all. Your battery charger may be sufficient, it all depends how beefy it is

Thanks again for the tips.
Will be extra careful, but not speedy. Speedy tends to make mistakes.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

How's your sticky turbo doing? Any better after clean? Overboost errors I'm guessing?

Hi Grue
Turbo is a lot better but it still has the odd hiccup. Must still have the odd bit of carbon to clear. Could do to go on a long fast run to clear it. Trouble is at the moment there is that many road works on the main road at the moment not worth it. Don't want to take it on the motorway as yet as I'm afraid it could go into limp mode and I would be stuck trying to find somewhere to pull over. During the last couple of months I've kept a cheap obd reader in the glove box in case it takes a hissy fit. Just pull over clear the code then off again.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

Have you tried the throttle body recalibration yet?

Hi Micken
No I haven't done a calibration, didn't know it was required.
Should be able to check tomorrow.
Today is the day we do the shopping for some very old vulnerable pensioners so won't have time.
I know very little about SDD therefore need to take time.
I'll post results when I get them.
Thanks.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
