Sausage Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Check wiring, or blocked egr pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arosa1980kid Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Brand new egr was put on my car and after a week engine management light came on? Code p0401, its going back to garage where I had it done for him to sort out this weekend, when I start the car it revs its knackers off to around 2000 rpm, then settles down ?? , I have also had a full new exhaust system put on etc. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 It gets hot, dont think rubber will like that much and you wont like the smell either. Scrappy or bodge it with something heatproof, or blank it off with an egr blanking plate bought or made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arosa1980kid Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Anybody know if this hose split (number 9) would chuck up a p0401 code? I need a replacement , does anybody know where I can get 1?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 OK thought you meant the metal one, that is just vacuum hose, if the split is near an end or there is enough slack just shorten it. Any motor factors should have suitable stuff by the meter otherwise. Yes probably throw that code, as no vaccum moving the egr valve. I think the electric connector is for position sense, but could well be entirely wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
