EGR Valves

[BlueHave]

First time the EML has flashed up on my new to me car.

Diagnostic reader tells me it's an EGR valve fault. However the car is driving fine and I'm not seeing any fall in MPG or engine performance.

Seems to be a lot of EGR blanking plates for sale online and from initial reading it doesn't seem to be essential to the running of my 1.4 petrol Audi.

Can anyone shed more light on this minor niggle and is it better to blank it off or perhaps an EGR cleaner will be the solution.

Another thing to mention is that I chucked half a bottle of Redex in with the last tank. So wonder if that has something to do with it.

Sounds like you have not driven it's hot and hard to burn the crap out

Get it hot drive for at least half hour at 70+ In as low gear as possible
