Mine will be out of warranty in July, I have so far been having them at 25,000 mile intervals, no doubt I'll get 1 more before the warranty is out & then I plan on keeping it for a year so It looks like I'm going to pay for 1 unfortunately, if I do I'll strip it to have a look

Don't see the point of buying an EGR out of warranty - it'll probably just fail again.
Just blank it off or pull the multi plug, yes it'll put the light on but it's literally a couple of minute job to remove the blank, the light will reset itself within a couple of journeys if you need the light off.

Just a thought, Has any one tried stripping an egr taking out the middle cog to leave the stepper motor able to do it's thing, then just putting a blanking plate between the egr & the exhaust, surely as long as the ecu detects the presence of the stepper motor it will be happy. or am I just mad :? :D

My thinking was that just blanking off & leaving the siezed or broken component in place would probably still bring on the light, but if the stepper motor still works but something else has gone wrong then as long as the ecu can still see the motor & it's movement then it should be happy, but of course if it also detects flow then I am talking rubbish, no doubt I'll find out when mine goes wrong out of warranty. :(

Not sure if I'm right but I think I heard someone say it measures the turbo pressure some how, so if it stays closed coz the cog is removed or blanked off the light will come on :?: :?:

I don't know, there must be someone that's had a play, & there must be something that fails & perhaps with a bit of modification perhaps more reliability can be built in, all these units getting thrown away in the name of emissions is not very clever

There is that man we been looking for, if there is some re engineering needing doing the precision engineers in Bournemouth that I use are fantastic, why was yours not done under warranty ?
