I'm having problems with the Engine Management Light and EGR valve on my 2008 2.2 16v 100bhp engined motorhome. The van has not done many miles 9.5k.
I took it for MOT last April, the morning I fired it up the engine management light came on. The garage reset the light saying it was the EGR valve and was due to the van's low mileage. The light stayed off until the April when I took it for MOT again the EML came on as I fired the engine that morning.
The garage switched off the light and said it was the EGR again and I should drive the vehicle a bit harder to try to keep it clean.
I'm now on an extended holiday in the motorhome and the light has come on again! A Breakdown truck was attending a car close to my Motorhome yesterday, I asked the guy to check my 'van, he used the diagnostic port said it was an EGR fault said it was a common problem with the valve sticking and switched off the light. I departed from the caravan site a couple of hours later and before I left the site the EML came on again!
Where is the EGR valve located on the engine?
Can it be cleaned to prevent it sticking?
If not what can be done to prevent it sticking?
What is the cost of a replacement EGR valve?
Thanks for your assistance with this problem
