Good evening,

This week I several times start my 2011 TDV8 4.4 with a cold engine to park the car next to the house instead of the driveway because our cars are behind each other.

I started this morning the V8 and without driving an error message was displayed "Restricted Performace" so I started the iCarsoft LR V2.0. It's telling me code P050E: Cold start engine exhaust temperature too low. So I cleared the error but after the start I get the same code again!

It seems that the TDV8 does not like that I move the car every morning with a cold engine and cold exhaust..

Anyone had the same issue?
Thanks a lot!

Here is an update.... next day.

This morning I drove fifteen minutes so that the exhaust got warm. No performance restriction noticeable. Error message cleared and will not come back. Some sensor will indicate that the exhaust has not warmed up enough after starting. I think..

Doesn't seem all that bad to me. Maybe my topic is not necessary but still want to mention the error code here so that others can find it here and in google.

I've not heard of that one have you searched it here?

. Cheers, Greg
