EGR's replaced (4K miles ago) Fault Code C is back? |
|
Hi Guys.
Disco 3 XS went in for the 105K/7 Year service including the replacement of the oil pump last week. Prior to this it had both EGR's replaced around 4 months ago and had been driving fine with no issues or dash light warnings.
On collecting the vehicle from the independent specialist he advised that on the route back from the MOT station the engine warning light had come on.
On checking the code it was a 'C' EGR related code. It was cleared and then remained off until i switched the engine off and back on again. Since then it's remained on constantly. Multiple starts and runs.
The car is driving fine at present with no issues at all. I've been told to bring it back in on Tuesday for them to have a look but they seem a bit lost as to why it would happen. Outlined it could be a faulty replacement EGR valve, as it would be unlikely that any plugs or sensors would have knocked or left un-plugged as a result of the work completed based on the side of the engine the service work would have been completed.
Apart from taking it out for a really good run to see if it clears any ideas or pointers?
I've done a search and can see nothing similar.
Thanks!
PS - im not looking to blank them off given the work just done on the new valves being fitted Discovery 2007 XS

hi RUSH, the eml light is a inconsistant piece of unwanted agrow on all these cars. on my07 it has
been coming on and off every few days for the last month or so. no loss of power or fuel consumption. the car has only done 37000 miles from new. I renewed drivers side egr 9 months ago, not identified the cause as yet.
