Hi, I was hoping to get some help with an electrical fault/s on my Punto Evo 1.6 multijet.

It’s throwing up codes:
P0487 & P0490

Both generic codes I believe? Something to do with the egr valve circuit.

I’ve had the car checked out at a garage and initially he thought it was just a dodgy fuse, so that was replaced. The engine management light soon came back on. Not only do I have the engine management light too, but since this I have noticed that upon acceleration it hesitates and you hear almost a flutter afterwards? Maybe a turbo flutter.

I was hoping to be pointed in the right direction or if anyone has had a similar problem?

It shouldnt be a secret..
I will use the forums excellent SEARCH for you..

What sort of use does the vehicle get.. ?
Performing regens ok ??


Is the garage the same place that does its oil changes

Sounds like a EGR or MAP sensor (on back of inlet manifold) issue. First thing to do is take the MAP off and clean it with brake cleaner or similar. Don't poke anything down the hole or slots in the sensor, some have a temperature sensor there that can be damaged. Obviously you need to clear the fault code too.

If that does not work you need to clean or replace the EGR. Note that blanking or eleting the EGR is illegal and is an MOT failure.

Cheers dude, will give this a go!

Did you manage to fix this problem. I have Fiat Bravo 2008 1.6 105 diesel too. From a few weeks I am getting P0487 too. I cleared the throttle and the EGR valve but the error keeps coming again. Today I also received this P01EA error. Sometimes my car also have very unstable idle. When the idle is unstable my MAF reading go from below 2 g/s to 12-13 g/s. When the car is stable the MAF stays on 10.5 g/s which might be high for this car. I am planning on cleaning my MAF sensor. I hope you can provide some help. Thanks in advance!
