Hello there.
I've been checking this forum for a while but I couldn't find answer to my question.
For last few weeks I've been getting Higih Emissions Service Required message on my 2001 S60 D5. After switching engine off it dissapears. I went to Hallmark in Stockport to have errors checked but they couldn't find anything in history or after a short drive the guy took it for. It only shows when you drive at constant revs without accelerating or slowing down and always under 2000 RPM. So I took it for a drive and came back to them when it showed up, left engine runnig while they conneced it to computer and they got this error code: 4405. EGR valve faulty.
I was quoted 750 pounds for repair, but what got me thinking was this: he said I have to replace 3 parts: valve, acutator and exhaust gases cooler. Is that really necessery? If valve is faulty why do I have to replace all three parts? From what I know the cooler is basically a pipe so what can go wrong there?
Is it possible to buy EGR valve somewhere so I can do it myself? I'm pretty good with spanners so I don't think it'd cause me much trouble, the problem is I can't find any online parts retailers which carry this valve.
Any help will be gratly appreciated.
