Diesels aren't tested for NOX emissions at MOT time, just opacity (particulates). The NOX levels will be used when certifying the car for production.

If you look at this screengrab you can see the amount of EGR on a 2.0 HDi 110 at idle. Most of the EGR is done at low revs/ low load. Hence the smoke and rough idle when it goes faulty.

Picasso has thrown its toys out of the pram and decided to start cutting out. Did it on SWMBO yesterday PM, but by the time I got there it started and ran OK, and after a couple of engine starts the engine light went out, and it drove fine for 15 miles home - even giving it plenty of beans near home. I took it this morning though, and it died...

Hi, Does anyone know possible causes for this fault when it is displayed on its own? My car has had some work done on it and after driving at about 60mph it came up. Have taken it back to the Mechanic but his fault reader does not allow him to enter the menu for this section.

I'm supposed to take the car back to the garage on a weekday so the fault code can be read.
This morning the fault has gone. No message, no lights.

On Saturday the track rod thingy was change, and the error was still there all the way home.

So I think my car is fixed.

That's about the right scenario for a temporary fault somewhere in the ECU...

There should be a blue plug under the drivers seat for the changer.

Halfords list and sell a fuel filter, the haynes book makes no mention of changing it , it does how ever mention a charcoal canister located under the left wheel arch I am guessing this is what I and presumably halfords call the fuel filter. How often should it be changed?

Last post

If petrol C5s have no fuel filter that could explain the apparent common failure of the HP pump.
If the charcoal canister leaks then presumably charcoal granules will end up in the fuel, which might explain why a friend with a vauxhall found charcoal in his fuel filter.

Sorry to state the obvious, but is the gauge / warning light accurate? Perhaps you're just running out of fuel.

As noted by others I usually go for building up the bolt with a MIG welder set on a higher than normal setting but used in very short bursts. This has been sucessful on sheared bumper bolts on the XMs rear wrap around bumper. The intense heat certainly helps.
