Cheers folks, I'm going to pull the EGR off tomorrow and see what state its in. With the EML on its not going to fetch much as resale so I doubt I have much to loose playing around with it. I've just ordered a new OBD2 reader as my last one seems to have packed up. Can anyone recommend a decent reader app for an Iphone as i've been through a few phones since I last used it? Cheers folks.

Hi all, long time lurker on here, not contributed much I'm afraid... I've had my 06 4x4 1.9 Octy for about 6 years now and apart from the gearbox output shaft needing shimming its been great. I work in the events industry so me and the wife need to tow generators, tower lights and a caravan over the summer often on muddy fields (when we get back to it) as well as needing a good family car. It's had a whine from the engine bay for about the last three years at least. I've been told its a leak on the turbo pipe or maybe the the turbo bearing. It's now had the engine light come on. A scan has revealed these codes.... 17055 - 58 Glow Plug Circuit (Active/static) 16706 Ign/Distributor Eng.Speed Inp..Circ - No Signal (Passive/Sporadic) 17978 Engine Control Module (ECM) disabled (Passive/Sporadic) 16785 EGR Flow Insufficient Detected (Active/Static) From the Garage: Main issues is EGR, tried to do basic setting but valve does nothing, Checked VAC signal was switching as it should. Tested EGR and it is leaking so not opening. Needs replacing. As EGR and turbo are controlled with VAC a new EGR vale could tip turbo over the edge therefore must replace both. For this they quote about £1500. So, what to do? I've cleaned the EGR valve myself in the past and feel pretty confident about replacing it, is it true that it could take out the turbo? I do trust the garage but I don't have much spare change at the mo what with their being no work in events industry. Any thoughts and comments welcome, thanks in advance. Matt.
