EGR Delete in Dorking — Cure Rough Running and Limp Mode
A sticking or clogged EGR valve chokes your intake with soot, causing rough idling, hesitation, limp mode and warning lights. We delete the EGR in software and blank it off for drivers in Dorking, so the engine breathes cleanly again.
How we handle EGR faults in Dorking
Ask us where we work most and Dorking is always near the top of the list. Access via the A24 and the A25 makes it a quick trip, and with Leatherhead and Reigate on the same run, same-day slots come up regularly.
The EGR valve recirculates exhaust gas back into the intake to lower combustion temperatures. Over time that soot-laden gas gums up the valve and the intake, so the valve sticks — and a stuck EGR means rough idling, hesitation, black smoke, poor economy and, often, limp mode with a warning light.
An EGR delete maps the valve out of the engine’s software and blanks off the recirculation path, so no more soot is fed back into the intake. The rough running clears, the light goes out, and the fault doesn’t return.
We do it at your home or workplace in Dorking anywhere from the centre to the RH4 outskirts, usually within the hour, with a fixed price agreed before we start.
We clear every related fault code before leaving your address in Dorking, so you drive off with a clean dash that stays clean.
