Hello there
I will start by saying that I'm new to the forum and this is my first post, although I am watching/browsing it for a while now.
I have my Bravo 07 for 6 months now and, even if I bought it from a shady dealer, I love it. Obviously, it has a lot of problems, some minor, some not so much.
For the moment I have a couple of pressing matters, and one of them regards (or not) the EGR Valve.
After about a month of search through internet and this forum, having more and more problems with starting the car, I decided to change the EGR Valve. So I did it my self and, after about 3 hours, I did it.
Next, at first it struggled to start, but then it was ok. I've noticed, after install, the engine light in dashboard with the message like "EGR error" or something like that (I had forgot to connect the wires ). I've connected the valve, still got the error in dashboard, I've disconnected the negative from battery, put it back after 3-5 minute, error gone now but I don't think it is working (the EGR). After 2 weeks, I still have problems with difficult start (much rarely), still have the load of white smoke when it starts, the exhaust still smells like diesel and it is whiteish...
The question is: is it possible that the ECU doesn't recognise the EGR Valve, even if I don't see the error in dashboard? And so the EGR doesn't work?
