    Cleaning EGR passage ways

    D`oh! I thought it will be a bit simpler:) The symptoms you describe sound terrible mate, you got me scared now. Still will have a go at EGR weather permitting. I will aslo replace air filter and clean air intake hoses. dan

    Cleaning EGR passage ways

    Just a thought, perhaps some loose bits were left in the air intake once you cleaned it and were sucked in? That would explain the sound you talking about. I dont think carb cleaner would be able to break the engine. Is it possible to dismantle the intake manifold to clean it properly? dan

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    I get around 85-100 before niddle moves. From then on it just drops like a stone. Thans for info Ian, will have another go at EGR. Yesterday I noticed that on full throttle my honda smokes like hell. In third, from 30MPH to 80MPH on full power it leaves trail like a lorry. I spoke to my local...

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    To clarify on service history. Manifold will be replaced only if your car got FSH or been serviced with Honda approved parts.

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    I used a free software easyobdII ver 2.3.0. It tells you generic stuff and you can reset the fault codes (ones that dont light the EML) and EML as well. Found it pretty good must say. ELM 327 works with many cars but you have to have different software for it to work. Tested on astra but had to...

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    What Im worried about is why there is such a difference between almost identical cars? Some get 46MPG mixed driving some (like me) just 36MPG...There must be sth that affects fuel economy so much. I always suspected EGR valve or the MAF. But on computer my ECU is clean, no errors at all. Im...

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    Same here mate. I usually get the exact figure you have there - 420 miles to around 55l of diesel. Mixed driving. Switched to v-power now, on my first tank at the moment. Will see if that helps. If I dont drive in town lets say go from taunton to dover (around 230 miles) A303-M3-M25-Dover It...
