P246B fault on 1.2 petrol grandland x 2019

[Kev8]

Hi all. Was driving normally and suddenly heard a ping and lost power. Car in limp mode and engine fault requires repair symbol. I put an OBD2 scan on it and it came up P246B. I erased this. Restarted engine. Same fault came up on scanner again. Any ideas?

It is still stuck in limp mode by the way.

Quick Google search and this comes up, at the bottom is the Grandland X link (my work laptop wont let me select this)

Thanks Valer. But it’s a petrol engine. It has a GPF filter but we do 20 mile journeys at high speed 8 or 9 times a week so no short trips in traffic.

It’s an automatic transmission by the way.

I wondered which was incorrect,your engine type or the fault code you read,now we know lol
tbh gpf's don't give much trouble at all so i reckon you'll have to wait until your garage can get a pro scanner on it

Thanks again. Just checked under bonnet with ignition on but engine not running and there is a faint squealing noise and the cooling water looks blackish. There is also a slight mechanical noise as if a component is trying to do something.
