EGR

My 06 2.7 diesel (71,000 miles) suddenly cut out at the lights last week.

Started immediately but cut out again after about 5 seconds.

Brought home on transporter, showing reduced performance message,

Next day started ok ran for about 20 minutes then same problem.

Did not go into limp mode, just cuts out as if ignition turned off, starts ok for 5 seconds then straight off again, longer I leave it the longer it runs for.

Jag indy took it in and said MAF sensors, changed them but same problem,

Then told me EGR valves, changed both at a cost of £950!

Got car back today so will see how it goes, have I been ripped off at that price?

 

Comments please

EGR valves £162+ vat from jaguar including gasket, i know this because just gone through the same problem, total price including fitting was £240, for the drivers side only, it took my mechanic an hour and a half to fit and I was pleasantly suprised by very little carbon build up. Hope your cat purrs from now on. Regards

Since found out they put my old MAF sensors back as they were not at fault. replaced both EGR valves.

Charged me £942!!

Car had half a tank of diesel when it went in but not even enough to get me home when I got it back so that was another £50.

 

Since learned I was well ripped off, so much for using indy instead of main dealer!

 

Classic Cats, Warrington, never again.
