Hi there,
I've noticed on my C5 X7 with DT20C - 3.0 V6 HDi FAP that sometimes I get a engine check light. After connecting to diagbox there is always a fault code in the injection/ignition calculator (I believe that it is the correct name as I have my diagbox in another language). There is always only p2175 fault code (no other fault codes in this calculator) and from the parameters of this fault I see that it is too closed.
The fault didn't always return, as it went away for a few days and then it reappeared.
As to engine behavior, when a fault code emerges, the engine starts to run marginally worse, but there is no problem with accelerating or anything else.
Shall I replace the air mixer with p/n 0345.G1?

It's either that or the electrical harness / pins at the connector.
Fault Code: | P2175 |
Description of Fault: | Air mixer /Butterfly: Position incorrect in relation to the requirement (Closed too far). The measured air flow is less than the setting for a defined time: Possibility 1: Difference of 7 % for 30 seconds Possibility 2: Difference of 10 % for 25 seconds Possibility 3: Difference of 30 % for 15 seconds Possibility 4: Difference of 50 % for 10 seconds Possibility 5: Difference of 60 % for 8 seconds Possibility 6: Difference of 70 % for 7 seconds |

Re: C5 X7 3.0 HDi - p2175 fault code
Thanks for clarification of potential suspects.
Yesterday I ordered the said air mixer as well as two sets of gaskets.
First I’m going to inspect electrical harnesses and/or inside condition of „old” air mixer. If I don't find any irregularities or causes, I will replace the air mixer.
I will post an update after this weekend.

Re: C5 X7 3.0 HDi - p2175 fault code
I am coming with good news - said problem is solved.
It was a mechanical fault as the disc inside was jumping between 4 or 5 positions when I was moving it by hand with significant force, in contrast the move in the new unit was smooth without any effort.
There were no gunk on the mechanism, so I suspect entirely mechanical failure of said disk mechanism.
Thanks for help, thread can be closed now.
