Opinions!

I am after your opinion.

You may recal a thread I put up back in August about my management light coming on, and having it diagnosed as the EGR valve has thrown a wobble.

Now this was on the 25th August, and the light went off again on the 26th August. It has not been on again since and the car runs as perfect as it always has.

I was going to get it replaced when the car is serviced in 4 weeks time. Not I am thinking to hell with it and not bother.

What are your thoughts? Leave it and wait for it to go? Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

if it ent broke don't fix it just give the engine a little present some 2 stroke oil, injector cleaner and egr cleaning spray and you will prob find it'll be good Smile When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

Cheers guys, I will leave it. The technician from LR I spoke to said it may even have been a bit of crap stuck which prevented it closing fully, therefore going out of spec and putting the light on.

It was a coincidence that it came on after running 1/2 a tank of cheap French Supermarket fuel, as there was decent stuff at the time.

But other than this one time, she has always ran on Shell V-Power. I even ran a bottle of DPF cleaner through after I got back from France, I know I haven't got a DPF, but the stuff supposed to clean everything. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

Might be a good idea to get some EGR cleaner. Easy to use. Even Halfrauds sell it Thumbs Up
I use it regulary and never had a EGR problem with any car Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I do a lot of driving in France and I use supermarket diesel there. Never had a problem but maybe its because I always use two stroke oil as well. John

It may have been coincedence.

But I recall back in 2007, when I had a Vauxhall Signum 3.0 V6 CDTi, it felt gutless after putting in french Supermarket crap! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
