Why does this need doing so much? never ever heard of this problem in any other car,

EGR's give problems on all cars especially vauxhall and fords. Unfortunally we need EGR's because of emission legislation.

Well boys and girls it seems my EGR valve has gone bad as well
I thought the reason my mjet was stalling was because of my inability to change from petrol to diesel but last weds night my engine management light came on, and after a trip to the stealers and a pc diagnostic it turns out my EGR is stuck on closed!!
But the strange thing is that it has not affected the performance...yet!:worship:
So going in to my local dealer for my work on Monday to get it booked in!
Im glad I've seen this thread as Im new to the world of the GP and diesel for that matter after coming from a 1.8t Cupra. My car has been displaying all these since over the last week and finally worried me once the check engine light came on.
My first sign has been the odd occasion when it doesnt start first time and the judder when the engine is turned off but I thought this was because it was diesel Its also stalled a couple of times and like the guy above said I though it was because I wasnt used to a diesel. The last few days the car has seemed lifeless until about 2.5k rpm especially in third gear and then flies. Then the engine light came on on the motorway yesterday but Im hoping my problems will be solved by cleaning / replacing the EGR!
Do people think its best to clean first then if it doesnt work replace it or is it just best to replace in the first place to save hassle? My car has done 87k.
Apart from this the cars been fine and great to drive too, just the indicaor stalk that sometimes seems to be a little delayed, not sure whether this is common or not?
Excellent forum by the way guys, nice to see theres a good following outside the world of VAG!

Well the EGR valve is fixed and now she goes like **** off a shovel!
