Ok Hi, my name is Simon New here looking for some friendly advice.
I Have a 2003 2.0 HDI Partner Combi (I know wrong badge but to the best of my knowledge thats the only major difference)
It has 130,000miles on the clock and has had reasonable regular services
The symptoms:
Reduced mpg to 46-48 when driven very carefully (65max on motorway)
Occasional, 2 per journey surges around 2.0 krpm, I get 2 seconds of "boost" then it subsides back to where it was.
From reading around the EGR valve sometimes sticks (open?) and can cause problems.
Anyway what are you thoughts , do i need to worry, can I take moderate action eg redex to solve ?
