Help! D3 year 2009






Engine System Fault.

You are on the highway and the fault message pops up and the car stalls. You stop, remove the key, and restart the car and off you go. The fault can go away for weeks and once it starts, it can appear like 3 times in a day. Several diagnosis have been done but none has picked up the cause of the problem.

The vehicle was initially from UK and now in Nairobi, Kenya.

Regards,

Zacheus.

See the attached photos for the faults.

Have EGRs been blanked/ programmed off? If yes, check the electrical connectors to the EGR valves and unplug them if they are still attached. I had the same kind of problems for a while after doing away with the EGRs.

...and disconnecting the electrical plugs solved it.
