Hi my car is having an intermittent power issue when applying gas, its almost like the turbo isn't always kicking in fully. I had it serviced on the 25/11 and it has only been happening since then. The check engine light just popped up and with my bluetooth obd scanner i get this code = "P3264"
my app says its mass air flow meter. does anyone have more info here ? the cars new to me, as i only bought it 2 months ago

tldr
"P3264" engine code

Hi, i just took it back to the garage that did the service and they checked it over and the read the codes with there scanners.

Here are the codes

4212 - glow plug cylinder 1 activation
4232 - glow plug cylinder 3 activation
4242 - glow plug cylinder 4 activation
4252 - glow plug cylinder 5 activation
480a - particulate filter system (garage said they didn't know what this was)
3f35 - Charge air turbo monitoring
3ff1 - air mass flow sensor

The garage said the glow plugs are likely not a problem and if cleared they probably wouldn't show back up, but as i just bought the car on the 7th of october i called my dealership and they booked me in to get it looked at monday.
Do any of these codes looks bad to you guys ? i looked at the 480a and it seems be related to the dpf potentially blocked up which looks to be expensive repair
Should i just try to refund the car or hold on

Hi all, thanks for the answers I've been meaning to reply but this site keeps locking me from replying due to being a new member :/.

I think you are right about the dpf being blocked elliot. I was driving for around 40 mins (slow moving traffic not motorway) Wednesday after filling the tank and the check engine light went out and the car felt back to normal.
But the light did come back on Thursday sadly
After looking around, I'm gonna take it for a drive on the motorway tonight when it's clear. I'll post again once I've done this

Just to update you all, the motorway trip didn't do anything as engine light was on :-(

I have just came back from the garage and they said the dpf is blocked and needs cleaning/regenerating, they will replace the glow plugs, glow plug controller and also the egr valve. they said this should fix it but they have a suspicion that the turbo may need replacing depending how we get on afterwards.
