EGR pipe disconnected
Thanks to this forum I've identified a loose pipe that should go to the EGR valve - which explains why my car always idles a little high (appx1000rpm). From what I've read, it's ok to NOT have EGR but is it ok to have the pipe unplugged (will it cause any problems) or should I seal it off with a bung or something?

Hi MikeT,
Was your engine management light on, or hasn't your car got that system.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Gregg1100, I have an engine silhoutte light with an asterisk I think, in the middle that comes on with the ignition and soon goes out. It has never lit up out of turn on me even when I had both ABS and airbag on constantly. Does that mean something to you? I'm not sure what should or shouldn't trigger the engine management light though suspect hydraulic and engine temperature sensors are likely candidates.
