Hi all, wondering if you can help? I had the following fault code on my Pajero 49, so I changed the geometry solenoid on top of the engine and my vehicle no longer goes into limp mode. However the engine check light has come on and I have the following fault code 52 “vgt cont. prs.” I have no idea where to start with this code I have searched the forums and cannot find a solution.

Your help is greatly appreciated

You don't say which model, engine, year it is. However, in the 2001-2003 generation 3 workshop manual there is mention of a code 52.

See the linked page 00-8 from the workshop manual.

"NOTE *: Even if the ABS system is normal, removing the valve relay causes the diagnosis code No.52 to be output."

I found this elsewhere in the forum: "Hi guys, had code 52 "VGT CONT PRS" flag up on diagnostics after engine light came on ..."

Maybe this interesting thread and eventual solution (dirt blocking solenoid!) will help.
