The fun of breaking down

[grimliver]

So im sat in a lay by waiting for aa recovery,
I think it's my dpf again, cars in full limp foot to the floor no acceleration and a permanent dtc

Oh and the helpful service vehicle soon message

[grimliver]

So the AA guy tested my sensor and it's giving erratic readings so he said even though it's 12 months old it's probably the sensor, he said he has known some to break in a month, i shall order a replacment and keep you UPDATED,

soot was reading as 50% but registerd a failed regen which he said would be the sensor

Ffs.....that's not good mate.

S#!t parts .made to fail so it keeps people employed making them.
I had a lower wishbone on my car replaced for the MOT this year.
It was replaced 2 years ago
And I've done less than 10000 miles.
Everything has a time bomb fitted.

So whilst I wait for the part to arrive I thought u would do some cleaning I've dop maf and map but my egr looks odd should there be a gap here

[grimliver]

BTW I've removed that bolt but the gap was there first

[lizzard-t]

Should there be a gasket showing with a threaded hole ?

[grimliver]

On the second pic between the two bolts is a gap, I'm not sure if normal, also the egr was a mesd

[grimliver]

Here's a better pic

[lizzard-t]

That's what egr's end up like always clean them as part of regular maintenance.

I’ll get a picture of my EGR tonight when I’m home and post it for comparison.

[G!zzard1533]

It’s not the best picture but you can see I have the same set up as what yours is

[grimliver]
