You're a bleeding life saver, my van would start up nice, idle for a bit then die again. I was about to start pulling injectors before I saw the EGR might be the fault. Thing was seized good and proper but the WD did the trick beautifully. Many thanks

I have a vauxhall combo 1.3cdti had engine light come on so checked code which came up as egr valve malfunction so i will try the wd40 method first cheers Geoff.

Mine has stuck 3 times now, been to the garage each time who have freed it up like you showed, but now it's happened again and they said without taking it apart because it's a closed unit which will cost another £400 they won't know if it's just stuck or broken and that you can 'only get these from the manufacturer' which apparently costs a bomb (been quoted something like £2500 for labour and the part). Is it possible to buy these from a supplier for a lot cheaper than they are stating? Thanks for the video.

Great informative video! I have the vauxhall combo 1.3 cdti and I have the car with spanner through it, comes on every now and then, any thoughts on what is making it come on? The van drives great

You van needs a service. If you want to stop the service icon do this: Ignition Off. Hold Trip Reset In. Turn on Ignition. Still Holding Trip Reset wait for three (or maybe four) dashes. Turn off Ignition. Turn on Ignition

I've got the 2011 Corsa 1.0 and I've currently got a P0107 fault code for the MAP sensor which when I've replaced makes the engine run terribly/not at all. I've been told that the EGR valve could be causing the actual problem. Have you got any experience/advice/thoughts on my scenario? Great video regardless

You could try unplugging the EGR valve.

I tried this.... it doesn't work in the real word. my egr was stuck closed best to leave it that way and replace. I ended replacing the egr myself and tbh it wasn't that bad. I'm happy to help anyone whos stuck!
