EGR Valve / fuel rail issues

[littlejimmy]

Hi, my 2014 diesel fabia estate died this morning whilst driving, no indications, just cut out. I had to get the AA out to get it started and they said it is likely the EGR valve. I had my local garage run a diagnostic report and it gave 2 faults 1) P00C600 fuel rail pressure too low - Engine cranking and 2) P040200 Exhaust Gas Recirc.Flow , excessive detected.

 

Can anyone advise if this is this a common EGR fault, and is it covered by any recall before I go spending around £900 for a replacement?

 

Thanks

I very much doubt a recall would be done in a 2014 car as if recalled, the owner should have had it done a long time ago. Even under consumer eights law, your car would not be covered as it’s way over 6 years old. Any vehicle could suffer a faulty egr valve as they get clogged but potentially could be cleaned. Some are easy others not and some might just need changing anyway. If it’s a tough job to get to, cleaning and hoping it will be ok is a fools errand as you may end up doing or paying all over again in a few weeks!

I had a recall done on my 2006 Honda Jazz in March 2022. No quibbles from the dealer.
