did paperclip and it's the egr valve, spoke my gge and they said it's a cunt of a job...they reckon best part of 100 quid for the egr valve and then a lot of labour on top of that...am i best to try and just clean the egr valve and put a blanking plate in? do u think this would solve the problem? Cheers, Graeme

mine did this with same engine too, it was the EGR valve
cost £150 i think to get it done, labour is a cunt because they have to remove alot just to get to it, never had the problem since though
