hi,
I bought an 07 plate laguna diesel estate and have got the check emissions light on the dash,along with the spanner and eml....I have a cheap code reader and can lear the fault,but it comes back on a day later....I have run a bottle of forte diesel treatment through it and dpf treatment,but it still comes on a day later.....I have bought a can of bardahls egr valve cleaner,which lets me apparently clean the egr valve with no dismantling......I want to try this, but want to know if anyone has any experience using it and if it is safe to use? some reviews say it's great,others say the soot etc cleaned out,end up in the cat so could make problems worse down the line? surely these products are tested well to make sure they work and cause no damage? It was £20 for a tin so not cheap,I have found an egr valve for my car for the same money and would have probably bought this if i had seen it first.... But now I have the tin of bardahls cleaner,I want to use it but would appreciate some advice on here first??
At least I know what the so called fault is,thanks to mark,(lighty) changing my dash clocks for me.....oh, the car is not in any sort of limp mode, runs lovely and tickover is absolutely fine? thanks for any advice,cheers,dean....
