We’re here to help you find the best local garage to fix your car, whatever your issue, whenever it crops up. And by comparing all your options in one place, you’ll also make sure you get the best deal on your repair.

But how do you know if your exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is to blame?

 

What are the Symptoms of EGR Valve Failure?

Common symptoms of a failing EGR valve include:

• Check engine light on the dashboard
• Your car will struggle to accelerate
• Increased fuel consumption, resulting in more frequent trips to the pump
• Excessive or black exhaust smoke
• Reduced engine power or hesitation when you push the accelerator
• Unexplained stalling
• Your engine won’t sound right when idling, known as ‘rough idling’

 

Your car may also enter ‘limp home mode’. This is a self-preservation method designed to get you home without causing further damage to the engine, limiting your top speed to 40mph and reducing acceleration and general performance.

 

Will an EGR Valve Replacement Solve My Problem?

If your exhaust is heavily smoking or you’re noticing increased exhaust emissions, it’s likely that you need some form of exhaust repair, and your EGR valve may be to blame.

Under inspection, your car will be suffering with one or more of the following issues:

• Carbon buildup in the exhaust system that blocks the valve or passages
• The valve itself is faulty, either sticking during normal use or being stuck fully open or closed
• An electrical fault within the EGR system

If you notice some of the symptoms above, use low-quality fuel or frequently use your car for short trips without ever letting it fully warm up, an EGR replacement may be the best course of action.

If you’re still unsure, or are suffering from different symptoms, it may be better to book either a diagnostic check or general repair at a local garage. They have access to specialist equipment to properly diagnose the issue, using the detailed description you provide as a starting point.
