Technical EGR issues, removal and cleaning

[Si - Punto]

My EGR valve packed in completely and sent the car into limp-home-mode just shy of 25k miles.

Replaced under warranty and the car feels better than ever..... smoother and more efficient than it ever was (excluding mapped period)

Just noticed you are in Reading Si, I get myself and my GPS down to Winnersh from time to time, its a good run to there from Telford :devil:

Ah cool, the map must make up for what would otherwise be a rather boring journey

Work occasionally sends me in your direction as well. Next time I know I'm heading up I'll drop you a PM, we'll have to catch up mate.

The egr valve is a warrenty item it's part of the engine emission control system im a tech for bmw and if they get jammed they are replaced under warrenty. I've never heard of havin to clean 1 out.

Fiat warranty is no doubt different from bmw, EGR is not covered in 3rd year on some models in the Fiat range, GP is covered though.
