mr_arc Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What car, how old and when was it last serviced. When does it cut out (engine hot/cold, accelerating, braking, idling, etc), when did it start cutting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootsBooster Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Did they bother to clean out the port that the EGR valve bolts onto? It needs to be done with carb cleaner and a bendy brush, to get in and around the bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It might not necessarily be the EGR valve. The valve can show up as faulty due to other components being at fault. Get a proper diagnostic from someone who only deals with Vauxhalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
