P046C - EGR Fault

Featured Replies

I have the above fault appearing pretty much every drive on my 1.6CR Tdi. It can occur 1 minute or 1 hour into a drive and is always accompanied by the glow plug warning light and sometimes the engine management light. The car goes into limp home mode until i next start the engine where everything functions as normal. 

 

The car is booked into a diagnostic with the garage i bought it from (only 5 month old) on monday but i need to drive approx 50 miles each day until then. At the moment im having to use Torque on my phone to delete the faults any time i need the acceleration (merging into an A road etc) but the rest im taking easy. 

 

Im considering taking it for an italian tune up, does anyone advise for or against this with this particular engine?

I have a similar issue with a CAYC engined Fabia 2. Now my engine warning light is on all the time and I have also started to get the DPF light. I have it scanned a couple of times. EGR seems to be the main issue but DPF also has 28 grams of ash which a mechanic told me is high, although it does not seem that bad to me. What was the result of your scan?

You drive enough to clean the system, who had the car before you didn't. New EGR needed.
