I have read all the relevant posts & I still seem to be a bit confused
I own a 2004 Astra G Estate 1.7DTi with the Z1.7DTL engine with 94k on the clock. The car does about 20-25k a year but is fully serviced according to schedule. In the 3 years I have owned the car the emissions light has always come on & off, strangely disappearing after any work being done on the car but then reappearing later. Recently is on 90% of the time, there does not seem to be any problem with fuel consumption & the car passed its emissions (with the light on) part of the MOT 2 weeks ago. I had a Tech 2 test by Vauxhall that found the trouble codes P0400 (Exhaust gas re-circulation flow excessive - detected) & P0105 (Boost pressure sensor circuit R/P). They quoted me £449.22 for fitting & supply of a new EGR valve & Boost pressure sensor.
Bit skint as usual!
So...............
Should I clean the EGR out myself (not very confident having looked at the photos & description)?
Blank the EGR off?
Buy a 2nd hand EGR valve?
Or just be prepared to spend the money?
Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
