Subfactor Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ok, so i had the engine warning light come on, diagnostics said it was the egr valve. to replace its minimum £130 but i have heard you can remove the sensor all together? sorry i am a complete newbie at this, i know the valve is water cooled so what would replace it if i were to remove it? because obviously it would spew coolant out, am i right?grateful for any help!(Y REG 1.0 Arosa s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 If you remove it the light will stay on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I don't know anything about the 1.0, but I'm sure there will be.Try cleaning it out first though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subfactor Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's come away from the gasket, and the mounting point has snapped off, that why I need a new one or an alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well pass an MOT with an EML but you could potentially fail on emissions dependent on how much is given with a blanked off valve.
