Afternoon folks,
Decided to go ahead and open up the casing to check the gears, and they are all good. Discovered you can buy replacement metal gears too, which is handy to know. Wondering what to ... |

Morning folks,
I've removed the throttle body this morning. Inside is a bit oiled up, is this expected?

| Cheers Luke. I'll have a proper read through in the morning, but from the first couple of pages they mention a grinding noise, and there's a video with the noise, wife's car isn't doing that, but may ... |

Had to move the car quickly yesterday due to needing to fit a works van on the drive, so removed the air in take completely as this is my most successful starting setup. ... |

No worries Sid, it was only for a test to try and eliminate the EGR. Turns out the car already has a proper blanking plate fitted.
I've not had a look at the car today due to the rain, bit if a fa ... |

Evening, I'll try it again in the morning and report back.
Previously when it ran the MAF was connected to the air filter housing, but the intake hose was completely removed.
Thanks again

Turns out there's already a blanking plate fitted! Does this rule out the EGR completely at this point?
Thanks again,

As in a bean can? That would be worth a try, maybe use two so it's a bit thicker.
I'll have to rummage through the bin...nice 
Thanks again,

| That's great, wasn't looking forward to pulling the EGR, only to find it makes no difference. Before I go ordering a blanking plate, I guess I could try to make a temporary one just to test, any sugg ... |

Thanks again for input guys.
As for just blanking off the EGR, which looks easy enough based on YouTube, would this overcome a potentially faulty EGR based on OldGeezer's comments?
Thanks again

Apologies for not getting back sooner, one thing after another.
Once you've got an "engine system fault" message on the display, other than disconnecting the battery, is there any secret ... |

Cheers Pab,
I'll have look into that this afternoon, be great if it's just a blocked hose/pipe.
Friend has suggested similar, that it seems likely to be something up stream, his thoughts were th ... |

Hi folks,
Wife's 2007 2.2 diesel Auto HSE has died. In a nutshell, it starts on the button and runs for a few seconds, reporting the Engine System Fault on the dash, then cuts out. With the air i ... |
