Vehicles (17 Jan 2019)
You can now add the vehicles you own to your profile as little icons that appear in your profile and alongside your posts.
This is a bit of an experiment. Take a look under the "REWARDS" menu across the top of the screen for the vehicles "ADD/MODIFY" option.
Let me know how you get on.

Not sure if they ever give any trouble ??
Also as the name suggests EGR being Exhaust Gas Recirculation.how does it connect to the Exhaust side of the engine when its bolted to the inlet manifold side or am i missing somthing

The exhaust gases are passed back through a approx 10-12 mm metal pipe from the exhaust maniforld back to inlet manifold.
They can give trouble on any car.
Are you having problems with the running of your vehicle or something?

That should light up the eml. The ecu usually pulses the valve and looks for a change in rpm.
On a petrol engine the egr valve when working increases engine efficiency at part load, and keeps exhaust gas temperatures down, so the valves last longer.
It is disabled at full load.
Diesels are a different story...
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Cant really get to the bottom of the problem its a 1.6 motor with jim jam inlet ecu and fitted wih the green/blue baleno injectors.
If i introduce a very small amount of air into the manifold by just cracking 1 of the vac hoses it smooths out and runs good and as the EGR pipe runs into the manifold as wondering when does it feed the gases back in and could it be the valve is not opening or there is maybe a blockage,
EGR just seems to be one of them thing you have to live with but is hard to grasp what effect it has
