I've got an 8v 1.9 diesel Bravo. The 1st time the EGR valve went on it was just before xmas and the job cost me over £200 I think. It went again about 6 wks ago and was replaced by the dealer F.O.C. as the part was apparently under warranty.
Blow me if today it seems it's gone again. It's my wife's car but I happenned to be using it today. I first noticed there was a lack of umfff in 3rd & 4th gear around town this morning, then 1st & 2nd gears got worrying when pulling away from junctions.
Considering I'd been driving a leased new Kia Ceed 1.5 diesel yesterday (which went rather nicely back from Brum), my wife's car drove like a 1.0ltr!!
Then the problem seemed to clear itself. There were no warning lights to start with but this afternoon symptoms restarted and then I got the amber warning light and the 'check engine' message. The car goes back in tomorrow to the dealer; watch this space!
I should add that our car is an 08 plate with under 40k on the clock. Admittedly it mainly does town driving but they dont warn you about the problems with this valve when you buy them do they?
