hi, I'm new to the forum, any help would be much appreciated.
My 2010 QQ red engine management light came on when going uphill the other day and had a slight loss in power.
Got car home and on restarting the engine the light had gone out. Yesterday morning the car was fine until returning from work when clouds of white smoke were coming from the exhaust, no loss of engine power, red light or strange noises. Car was recovered on a truck back home.
Fault code P2263 BOOST PRESSURE CONTROL NOT ATTAINED on diagnostics recovery chap used.
2 days previous to all this the car wouldn't start and had to be jump started. checked all hoses and connections I can get to for leaks/damage, nothing obvious.
Any advice, knowledge or thoughts greatly appreciated.

Welcome to this forum.

I haven't a clue but Googling led to this:

18695/P2263/008803 - Turbo/Super Charger Boost System: Performance
Possible Symptoms

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) ON

Possible Causes

Hoses incorrect connected, disconnected, blocked or leaking
Solenoid Valve for Boost Pressure Control (N75) defective

Possible Solutions

Check Hoses
Check Solenoid Valve for Boost Pressure Control (N75)
Check Cam Adjusters as per Repair Manual

Special Notes

On some engines, TPI 2016970 may apply. Boost Pressure Control (N75) part number 06F-906-283-D can cause P2263 and/or P0234.

Thank you for taking the time and replying.
I think I will have to take it to a local garage tomorrow and get them to do their thing. Think it too in depth for me.
many thanks gloucester

do you or anyone know if the white smoke would be linked with the fault code, I ask as the light had cleared the day before and was not illuminated when the car started smoking

Back in the days when cars were so much simpler I had clouds of white smoke out the back of my Triumph Spitfire and it was the head gasket had blown. So easy to diagnose and fix back then.
