The 207 GTI is a few generations later, in a world where everything is now big, heavy and safe. You just can't build small, lightweight cars like the 205 anymore…. not that it's a bad thing, for the most part, but it does mean we now need to rely on more power and better design to do the same job.

Often, when this error is produced the car will switch to "limp mode" in which case it opens up the wastegate and no turbo pressure is sent to the intake. Common problems which will cause this: 1. The blow-off valve (or diverter valve) is manufactured to withstand 1 bar (14 psi) of pressure. 5ffrp.
