When you have an EGR issue in Hooton, you have an emissions problem. Your exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is designed to recirculate exhaust gases back into the cars intake so cylinder temperatures and toxic emissions are reduced. The main component of this system is the valve that controls the flow and recirculation. When the valve malfunctions, toxins are released into the atmosphere and you will likely notice performance issues. Your car’s PCM or engine computer controls the EGR valve. The valve is closed when the car is not running or just idling. It’s also closed during steady acceleration. During steady cruising the flow of exhaust moves through an open EGR valve.
Your engine sensors will monitor the flow and if it’s abnormal, your engine light will notify you. In Hooton, an EGR issue is frequently a valve issue. The engine light won’t tell you why it’s on or that you have a stuck EGR valve. Fortunately, we have the diagnostic equipment to troubleshoot and reach the right conclusion in a short time. The problem may also be the sensor or the motor that operates the EGR valve. We offer a full service for both private and commercial vehicles. We also service, maintain and repair fleet vehicles. When your check engine light comes on, don’t ignore it. If it’s an issue with the EGR, you may also be experiencing a rough running engine, engine surges, and poor gas mileage. Your car will not pass the MOT.
An EGR issue in Hooton is most often caused by the valve which is likely stuck open because of carbon build up, often clogging the flow lines. It’s possible to clean the valve and start it working again, but that may only be a temporary fix at best. A replacement valve is not very expensive and, being independent, we can save you money on labour costs. So the best long-term solution is for us to replace the valve. If your engine light is on and your engine is chugging, contact Kic Garage. Bring your car to us and we will use our diagnostic equipment and experience to zero in on the cause. Don’t risk a breakdown on the roadside or wear and tear on other engine parts by ignoring the issue.
