Hi,
My v50 was down on power today below about 2k remember, home and held in the trip and it has revealed code 079.
Can anyone help please?
Cheers

Thanks for the reply. That would suggest an Exhaust Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low vault, more digging required to find out what that means.

I took the car to work this morning, was running normally, will see how it goes when I start it later.

Thanks for the help.
It was probably getting mostly supermarket fuel but was getting the occasional ultimate/v-power
