EGR faults! - Antipollution message

jameslxdt · Post by **jameslxdt** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 7:47 pm

after reading a bit more about the HPi, you need to re-initialize the engine ecu once you have replaced the egr, do as follows:

turn on ignition, wait 20 seconds
start the engine and leave at idle untill cooling fan cuts in (with a/c off)
test drive the vehicle at low load, going through all the gears accelerating and decelrating (between 1500rpm and 3500rpm)
turn off ignition
wait one minute before restarting
a cumulative functioning time of at least 20 minutes is necessary to enable the injector learning process
the re-initialisation is complete

Is this it James? This thing's on the front of the block, but it's got a 5 pin plug.

Can't see anything on the side or the back (unless it's the siemens thing??)...

Will PM the chassis number now....

Dai, did you ever get round to testing it?

Post by **DaiRees** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 9:17 pm

Nah, but I rang the dealer and got a price for the EGR, £140 + Vodka, I reckon that's a bit much to have a punt myself and decided to book it in instead. Hey, it's only money, when I run out of it the bastards won't be able to take it off me anymore

So it's going in tomorrow, I'm braced for impact

.

How much labour do you reckon to change the EGR James, seems pretty straightforward, shouldn't be more than an hour should it? Plus the bloody diagnostic charge of course

its only worth about half an hours labour, but the wankers will charge you an hour at least i bet, and most likely still change the wrong part, you need to take into account that the dealer will not read the P codes you have got, they will only download the pug specific fault codes which can throw them the complete wrong way
