The EGR valve can be cleaned can be cleaned here's a DIY for it. Soak it in IPA fluid to dislodge the carbon build up. If you get the remap apart from the additional smoke on acceleration you will also need to budget for a new clutch as it will wear out far quicker.

Jon_G before you embark on your moral crusade, retrofitting HID's doesn't automatically mean they will cause dazzle to oncoming drivers. It's the fact that the headlight is badly focused. This issue isn't just limited to after market HID's it's caused by every car on the road no matter what type...

Brake circuits are split 50/50 to opposite corners for safety. It's a requirement on the manufacture of every modern car. It's so if 1 corner fails at least 2 brakes should still work. They are split to opposite corners so when you brake the car still brakes in a relatively straight line. If...

1st thing you need to do is get the cars ECU back to stock, that way it will be able to produce all the fault codes it was designed to do. Then you'll stand a better chance of the car picking up the relevant fault code to indicate the problem.

Mattlee the reason they're charging so much is because it Marshalls. They run the franchises in Peterborough as well and are an absolute rip off. The fuel lines to the injectors screw on. I don't recall anyone that has removed them to get at their injectors needing to replace them because they...

Most insurance companies use the Glasses guide to value a car, unsurprisingly this is also the guide which will return the cheapest value. As said get some adverts with comparable adds, and when I say comparable I mean ones that don't have 50k less miles than yours or are 3 years younger...

Putting on a bigger intercooler will increase turbo lag.

The physical work of removing a DPF usually involves a broom handle shoved up the inside the exhaust. The internals then fall out and the original pipe is then reinstated back on the car. For MOT purposes if the car was fitted with an catalytic converter at manufacture it must be present at...

I know exactly what you're on about. part 15 There's also 1 behind the front bumper, and another in the boot on the underside of the speaker shelf (but I can't find the diagram for that one). part 22

Your windscreen steams up because you breathe! The warm breath you exhale condenses on your cold windscreen. Short of holding your breath you can't stop it. The diesel engine is very efficient so heats up quickly. The warm air coming out your vents has the same effect as you breathing. Once the...

Who told you part number 57110-SEF-E610-M1 was a revised one? There are around 10 models of the original unit which all contain the faulty sensor. You need to be very certain of which are and aren't upgraded units.

You could do this but you would then have to put the modified software on a copy disc which is well known for burning out the drives.

57110-SEF-E610-M1 is not an upgraded part. It's the same number as the one on mine, which is original, and contains the defective sensor.

Why don't you get your unit repaired, other members on here have. About £200-£250 to have it repaired and delivered if memory serves me correct.

You need to put it on an MOT ramp , the type you can drive onto. That way you can get under it with it sitting on it wheels.

Looks more like the engine is in limp home mode and the EML is stopping the engine from revving. Get the EML code read and find out what the fault code is.

Having the EGR off remap does significantly increase the amount of black smoke coming out the exhaust. You're not the 1st to mention this. It's normal for the remap.

What did you use to clean the EGR? Or whats best to use?

There would be no need to disconnect the ignition coil, without the plugs in the engine a circuit's not created (the plugs earth on the engine block). The coil is permanently charged even when the key is just on ignition point 2 without the engine running so it wont be any different to normal...
