A faulty EGR valve can cause rough running, limp mode and poor economy, so it is understandable that drivers want it dealt with quickly. The good news is that most EGR problems can be properly resolved — here is what causes them and the solution we offer.
Why the EGR causes trouble
The EGR valve recirculates a portion of exhaust gas to lower combustion temperatures and reduce NOx. Over time it clogs with soot and carbon, which can leave it stuck open or closed and trigger running faults.
The solution we offer
Our EGR solution resolves the fault at the source so your engine runs cleanly and reliably again. We diagnose exactly what is causing the problem and put it right, restoring smooth running and economy — not masking the symptom or clearing a code that simply comes back.
Our EGR solution delivers:
- A proper diagnosis of what is causing the fault
- Restored smooth running and throttle response
- An end to repeated limp-mode and warning-light episodes
- Improved reliability and everyday economy
Where a car also has other emissions equipment, we make sure the AdBlue, DPF and EGR systems are all considered together, because a fault in one can affect another.
Fixed properly
We resolve EGR faults at the source so your engine runs cleanly and reliably — no quick fixes that come back.
Key takeaways
- A clogged EGR valve can cause rough running, limp mode and poor economy.
- Most EGR problems come from soot and carbon build-up over time.
- Our EGR solution resolves the fault at the source, not just the symptom.
- AdBlue, DPF and EGR systems should be considered together.
Frequently asked questions
Can EGR faults be properly resolved?
Yes. Our EGR solution resolves the fault at the source so your engine runs cleanly and reliably again, rather than simply clearing a code that comes straight back.
What causes an EGR valve to fail?
Most EGR problems come from soot and carbon build-up over time, which can leave the valve stuck open or closed. Related sensor or running faults can make it worse.
