Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if I unplug the EGR valves on our Xantia HDi if it will trigger the engine management warning?
Someone has told me the EGR valves could be what is causing the car to smoke.
If it does I know someone with an ELIT machine, will this work on a 2000 Xantia?
A friend who looked at it reckons it's running rich as it's smoking slightly at idle. It's an unburnt diesel smoke from it too.
It's had injector cleaner through it a few times now and it's made no difference.
Thanks
David.

I would be surprised if unplugging the valves didn't trigger the EML. This isn't a foolproof check either, if the valve itself is leaking unplugging it will make little difference. It would be better to remove the valve and fabricate a blanking plate - if only for test purposes.
Sorry don't know about the Elit.

Is that the small rubber hose?
I disconnected mine on my 306 HDi and had no problems but don't want to trigger warning lights on the girl friends HDi or I'd not be forgiven for a while!

Hi Dickie,
Thanks for the advice.
I am unsure as to which hose you reckon I should unplug so I took a picture of the valves on our car and labelled each hose 1 through 4.
Could you tell me the number of the hose that I need to unplug?
Thanks
