    Hi,

    Have a 2010 1.6 TDI CR octavia that needs to have EGR valve cleaned.
    Is this a DIY job or does anybody know a place that would do it outside main dealer.
    I'm based in the South East.

    Thanks

    Why do you think it needs cleaning?

    Cars goes into limp mode and getting the following error in torque app

    Powertrain - Auxiliary Emission Controls - ISO/SAE Controlled. Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor 'A' Circuit Range/Performance

    Apparently the EGR have been know to clog up on the octavia so I'm guess that might be a good place to start.

    The car is serviced on the required intervals from new and 100K kms on the clock.

    It's a known issue on them alright. Cleaning won't help so don't waste your time or money.

    Skoda are covering some of them under warranty or you may get a percentage covered, a full skoda main dealer service history is big plus.

    thanks for all the replied.

    Just an update - the EGR value is bust and it cost 800 for the replacement part.

    However skoda are going to cover it and half the labour so not so bad a result.

    Probably paid to have full service history in this case. just hope it's not going to need replacing every 4 years.
