here goes it all started few weeks back when suddenly whislt driving i lost acceleration power and engine light came on , so pulled over turned engine off/on all was well acceleration came back, took it to garage fault code 1251 was diagnosed cleared code.

After doing about 700miles or so the fault came back again lost all acceleration engine light came on pulled over turned off/on all is well car running normal...

now the fun bit!!!! been driving 1200miles or so since last fault did not bother this time with clearing the engine light suddenly 2 days ago the engine light has gone by itself and car is still running normal...what is happening????

also the car feels there is not much power( this could be as it should be) but is there a way to check this ??

thanks

Can egr valve be cleaned with diesel addictive (with diesel when refuelling)?

Cheers.

sadly no it must be removed

search the forum for EGR cleaning or EGR related topics and you will be given good advice for cleaning the EGR valve

theres plenty of people who have done their EGR valves on here following the advice offered.... its not hard to do

if you want to try a really good additive for your diesel tank try forte buy it from eBay

or good quality motor factors

but do the EGR 1st

Or some BG244 in with the fuel. Great stuff (Item number: 370457528262) on eBay :thumbsup:
