Geordiedave68 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I have blanked my 1.6 tdci EGR valve. The problem is that when I rev to 3000 under load it goes into limp mode. This was the exact problem as before blanking. Any suggestions, I have been told I just need to clear the fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Are you sure it's the EGR at fault? Sounds more like a DPF issue to me. If the EGR is broken, just blanking it won't fix that, it needs mapping out on the 1.6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordiedave68 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) I have just changed the fuel filter but now cannot get it to start. Have primed filter but will not start. What do I need to do ? Edited March 14, 2016 by Geordiedave68 incomplete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 you need to prime it more.... changing fuel filter is a difficult task unfortunately. I would suggest you need to fill the filter to brim, then keep pumping it through. As for the error, I dont believe that will be EGR related...

Geordiedave68 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Turns out it was the filter that was causing limp mode. I noticed that the colder the weather more unresponsive the car. You were right about filter needs a lot of priming and a good charge in your battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
