That's not what I asked. They only normally clog up because of short hops.

Mines up and down the motorway most days and racks up the miles,with the bypass the AA put in its now running fine but they have advised to sort asap,AA are paying,new OE EGR valve is £190,which is a sting as a quality aftermarket is £60

Can it not be left off? It won't happen again then.

I Thought that but apparently ECU may throw a wobbly,but it seems happy at the moment

Mate of mine had the same issue with a Ford engined product. He had it re mapped, and left it off.

All sorted now,garage i bought this van and the newer one we just acquired,dropped it to them today,fitted us straight in even though they looked mega busy,gave us priority because its a business tool ,3 hours later brand new egr valve fitted,gets a text off the AA to say they are paying in full,sorted

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

This may hurt Leos eyes LOL,basically a transit in every way,same engines etc but they dont rot,AA guy was saying their records show there are as many of these out there as the best seller but they have very few calls to fix them

 

[oz-plumber]

Do they have French GPS or something?
Has the auto park function lost something in translation?

Do you realise you have taken up 5 parking bays with two vehicles?

Must be a French thing!!!!!!


I hope you get 5 parking tickets!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't help notice youve got two. What do do, just see which one starts In the morning and use that one?

The egr on my VW t5 gets pretty bad, luckyily it's easy to undo & I try to clean it out once a year sorta thing! Having to re-use old exhaust gasses is always going to block the valves up!

I'm thinking of getting one of those, is it difficult? And where is it? I mainly do short hops.

Its a stupid idea the egr valve, exhaust gases straight into air intake. Only fitted to keep EU happy with emission regulations.
So mines blanked off (defender td5) and the engine gets clean air.

Just 3 Allen keys & 1 electrical connector, it slides out easily on an o-ring on my 1.9tdi engine, some are probs more difficult. Can get it out in 2mins on mine 🙂
