VerifiedHi there hope i can be of assistance,
Did all of these lights come on at the same time?
Where you driving when these lights came on, if so, what were the conditions? i.e motorway, urban driving etc?
Where any lights on before the turbocharger replacement?
Thanks Bob

Thanks for the extra information.
Ok you need to have the fault codes read now. Any small workshop can do this for you.
Its likely that you have 2 seperate faults here.
The ABS/Traction contol light often appear together. Often just a damaged abs sensor or wiring in the wheel arch.
As for the engine managment light/dpf, these can also appear together for the same fault. As the turbo charger has just been replaced, its possible that there is oil contamination in the exhaust system which can damage the DPF filter.
The fault codes that are read will confirm this.
There is a chance that there is a large electrical block connector in the engine bay that has worked its way loose. There is a bolt on connector (10mm headed bolt) to the back right of the engine bay that often works its way loose.
Also have a quick check of the PCM wiring (front right of engine bay) to ensure these havnt been disturbed/crimped when the turbo charger was replaced.
Thanks Bob

Matt. We have a VW crafter 30 35 Minibus, 2010 model, 2.5L
we have a VW crafter 30 35 Minibus, 2010 model, 2.5L engine. It started 6 months ago with exhaust fumes in the cabin. We could not see the smoke but could smell it. Keep going back and forth to mechanic. He said he cleaned the EGR valve. But no change. Then he suggested changing the DPF. Due the continues smell of exhaust fumes we agreed and had a new DPF. It did not improve the driving but the smell of smoke stopped for a week. Then we started getting thick blue smoke. Once the engine was hit and was doing it automatic cooling the smoke start. We did a motorway drive in case it was the DPF regenerating. The smoke stopped. The mechanic checked again and said we need a DPF diagnostic. Had a full DPF diagnostic by TerraClean. They said DPF is showing empty but when mechanic put camera in the DPF it showed blocked. So DPF was changed again but mechanic also saw a little smoke leaking from Turbo. Turbo express Portsmouth suggested a new Turbo as apparently its more expensive to repair. So New DPF and New Turbo but minibus is still making heavy blue smoke when the engine is hot. This is continuous until we do a motorway run. It then stop for a day but then carry on again. We have spent nearly £3000 and the problem is worse than it was 6 months ago. Advise would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. … read more
