Lumpy tick over before operating temp
Can anyone advice if a lumpy tick over could be a result of a dirty EGR valve, had one replaced by dealer under warranty and just wondered if the other should be changed as well. D3 done 85k on a 2005 MY? All seems okay when warm.........

Worth getting them checked anyway,but mine are blanked and I still get this intermittently.......I just live with it as my car seems different every time I drive it.....although I find adding a dose of Millers on fill-up every so often seems to cure it (dirty injector)?..........or.......just assume your car is female ie for no apparent reason its grumpy ! "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I think your right, no rain last night and the car was very smooth - no complaints -

Hi B16, suppose could be but as i was saying in my last post it does come and go (i.e. same time of day from cold one morning okay another morning lumpy) its due a service at Xmas time so hopefully get away with it until then ?
