If you have described it properly, ie HPI, not HDI, then that is a 2 litre petrol engine. It was not in production for long and the amount of technical knowledge generally available for it is limited. It is a complex unit.

I think that you really need the fault codes/live data read via Citroen specific diagnostic gear. (Lexia and Diagbox.)

If you have a look on www.frenchcarforum.co.uk there is a list of members who have the equipment and are usually more than willing to help.
