The Zaf has a DPF so you wont see smoke if the EGR has clogged/failed

 

just alot of lag before 2000rpm and then it puts you back in your seat once turbo has kicked in! No smoke and runs fine throughout the rev range.

Well, until the turbo kicks in, you're just driving a 'normally aspirated' 1.9 diesel mate!

Slightly 'strangled' by the DPF!!

 

I have the same I cleaned egr and boost sensor but still there next step for me is the boost solenoid next to fog light think im due a new one

im going to blank the egr also

 

Remove the battery for half hour then take it for a spin. This should make it forget the fault codes. You will then see if what you've done has fixed it. Do the pedal test again once youve given it a good blast

sent from another galaxy!!

 

Thanks for the response guys, im going to clear any fault codes (if any) with my dads scanner. But think I've got to clean the Egr valve next and see what happens. Ill take it for a good spin also see if it helps.

 

Just an update on my little problem I've got, took it for a good drive this week, engine light did come on so did pedal test and fault code P2079 air intake system leak detected. This I believe relates to the Egr valve so Tuesday its getting cleaned! Will update once I've cleaned it. Sluggish performance lasts for about ten mins after cold start up, so sounds like the solinoid is sticking a bit.

 

Could be swirl flaps

 

Hey, just a little update. I cleaned the Egr valve on Tuesday and cleared the fault code that was stored. Done about 200 miles and seems to be ok, runs smooth after first start up and no eml. So fingers crossed it will stay that way now!

 

Glad to hear (Y)
