As I have had some great help with my tail lights issue I am also going to bring this here.
So, I test drove the Clio (as said in the title, it's a 1.5dci, Clio II, '04) before buying, no faults whatsoever, but after having it a few days I had a 150km trip (almost 100 miles) and I noticed it shows some faults.
The diagnostics show 3 or 4 errors about pressures. (I do not have the results with me unfortunately.) The mechanic who did the diagnostics said it was the fuel system but I think it is not actually.
The faults that appear are "STOP" inside the engine image and the red "STOP". They only appear once the turbo reaches max revs. The engine revs do not matter, the "heaviness" of my foot doesn't matter, but 1 or 2 seconds after the turbo finishes spooling up those just appear and 2 or 3 seconds after I release the throttle the faults disappear. The car does not lose power, the sound doesn't change, the turbo still whistles...
I have had a few suggestion from people that are not mechanics but do know a thing or two about cars that the car is clogged and that I should blast it a bit on high revs. They did not know about that issue though, so I am scared that I could destroy the engine/turbo by doing that if there really is a serious fault.
I have done a google search on it and some say even bad fuel (as in low quality fuel) or dirty fuel filter can bring up such a fault, but I am pretty much clueless about it.
