EGR Solutions
Our software solution to disable the EGR valve is a simple and effective method.
WHAT IS AN EGR VALVE?
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). Is a valve used to reduce harmful NOx emissions, which operates by recirculating a regulated percentage of the engine’s exhaust back into the air intake, which prevents the NOx gas from forming in the first place?
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES OF EGR SYSTEMS
Modern engines recirculate some of their exhaust gases back into the engine with the aim of reducing emissions. This is the is the main benefit of the EGR system. The downside is that exhaust fumes containing carbon deposits are constantly being recirculated through the engine through time causing a build-up of carbon deposits in the intake manifold etc.
These deposits sometimes contribute to the failure of the EGR system itself. Replacement EGR valves can be expensive and in the case of high mileage engines the continual carbon build up can eventually lead to total engine failure.
MOBILE EGR SOLUTIONS IN KENT & EAST SUSSEX
If your EGR valve has become clogged with carbon deposits, causing the EGR valve to fail or stick, it will lead to error codes, an engine light, put the vehicle into “reduced performance mode” and prevent the DPF from generating, leaving you with a potentially more expensive fix for a blocked DPF and associated issues. If your garage cannot get you in for a while, we can reset the fault code, failing that, apply a software patch to allow your vehicle to continue to run as it did previously until the repairer can source the part and allocate the time.
