Car in Limp Home Mode - error codes?

[Howy]

DPF remains,just the 'internals' removed as RBH has said.

Welll, this is interesting. Finally got her in to the mechanic I've known and trusted for maybe 30 years. He said:

1. The EGR is definitely knackered. Jammed (open, I think he said). I think my extended warranty peeps will pay for a new one.

2. He can find no trace of the inlet manifold leaking coolant, as the main dealer asserted.

Hoping to get the EGR fitted and paid for this week.

The car did its raised idle thing the other day, so I drove till it came back down again. Of course, I forgot to check the instantaneous fuel consumption... next time hopefully. And when I get all this sorted out, I'll look at doing the LED in the tweeter mod...

Wow, the main dealer was really taking the p*ss!

That list lizzard-t suggested, EGR clean (replace in your case) MAF sensor clean, MAP sensor clean and throttle body clean seems to be an absolute must on all these EGR equipped cars.

Just done essentially the same to fix a Nissan Qashqai diesel!

The new EGR may well have you completely sorted but maybe get your man to do the other bits too. No parts required and it is all pretty easy to access (well it is on my old 2011).

Good luck.

Tell me about it.

Charles Hurst, in case there's anybody else from NI reading this... judging by the number of Insignias (Insignii?) we have here, there must be...

So EGR replaced, extended warranty company paid, all OK for now! £300 a bit of an improvement on £3000


Will definitely look at the LED mod - it's the sort of clever thing I like to do. But only when the weather improves...
