wont start
#4
Possibly egr valve failure. Its what happened on mine. Anti polution fault came up on way home & car went into 'limp mode' 35mph. Car would not start next morning, AA tow to Citroen garage & new egr valve £520 bill. Egr valve had failed, part dropped out of it when they removed it. Car was under 4yrs old but out of warranty of course. A few emails to Citroen UK giving them my thoughts/opinions & I recieved a £300 cheque for cost of parts so final bill was £220.

Citroen parts charge £300 for Valeo egr valves but you can find Valeo egr valves for 1.6diesel from ebay suppliers for under £100 & other suppliers for £160 so make of that what you will. You can also get egr blanking plates for 1.6 diesel off ebay but probably not a good idea with modern cars.
