I would take his advice @ clean egr and see if codes come back on. cleaning process is really easy only takes 30 mins to 1 hr. it's on YouTube step by steps on how to clean it. try cleaning first rather then replacement as it's quite expensive part.good luck

Thank you ahmedali44! He has quoted me £30 to clean it which sounds like a fair price...

I think your mechanic has hit the nail on the head. He is not second quessing as the proof is there. Personally i would take his advise,you are lucky to have

such a guy to hand. Dont think the scrape is any thing other than just that. Im not a diesel expert by any means but have seen many of these valves gummed up.

Thank you madasahatter! I appreciate the feedback & advice...I'm liking being on here...

I just had the engine management light and the traction control light come up and took it to a mechanic who's machine recorded faults  C1201, c1241, C1424

My mechanic reckons it's the EGR valve that need cleaning or replacement and that the car has gone into a 'limp home mode' withy rev's not over 2000 revs. His diagnosis: Claen the valve and all should be ok...

Does this make sense?

In addition, I had a minor accident where someone drove into the front passenger side and caused a few scratches...he was driving out of his driveway and I was in traffic and he thought I had stopped to let him through...he did hit the wheel and the front wing, so I am wondering if the two things are related.

Help please! :)
