Been A Little Silly.... [Egr Related Gubbins]

So I had a car with no problems. 18 months ago fitted a EGR blank. Broke one of the two bolts. Thought it would be OK, seemed to be right.

A few months ago car started to be a bit juddery/wobbly under very light throttle. Got progressive worse (but still drivable)...

Finally had a look at the EGR blank at the weekend and its been leaking/sucking air clearly for a long time. Took blank out, fitted pipes together with 2 new bolts, sealed.

Car wobble has now gone, but I did notice some hesitancy on a long trip at the weekend. No EML but DTCs codes stored saying the EGR is stuck.

This morning, quite cold, car started fine but ran like a dog - no power, like it needed some choke!

I assume the EGR is knackered (maybe due to not being used properly!) so I'm going to block it and seal it properly this time.

Just posting to:

1) Highlight my stupidity

2) Help others

3) Wondering if these issues do sound EGR related!

    Put blank panel back in and it's an instant fix

    Pretty fair to say my EGR system is b0rked - I'll leave it blanked!
