My 2013 Honda Crv (70k miles and a 2.2 diesel) when pushed - towing a caravan in France especially gives an error of P1236:01 - boost pressure higher than expected. I think this may be the turbo actuator getting stuck, but it’s hard to reproduce the fault when cleared. I’d rather fix it that wait, so wanted to take it to a garage (it’s beyond my skills). I presume a decoke of the turbo may help. Any suggestions of what to do/ where to go- I live in west Berkshire near Newbury/ didcot. Thanks.

Try and move the turbo actuator by hand whilst the Mr muscle is doing it's stuff.

Google diesel water injection cleaning, you can basically squirt (not a lot at once) neat water into the intake and it helps clean carbon too, I use a pressuiresed plant sprayer type thing, revs around 2.5k so.its hand to have a helper

As above, foaming oven cleaner in the hotside, followed by driving the car like an Italian teenager late for a hot date.

Thanks. Will have a look under the bonnet and see whether I’m brave enough to squirt mr muscle into it!

Presumably that’s doing the same thing as ‘Terraclean’ that my local garage offer for £130?

Sort of, terraclean takes longer and as far as I'm aware it will be injecting the chemical over a longer time, but as you say it's going to cost a lot more than a tin of oven cleaner
