Ok, so full disclosure, I only come here when I need something. As I know next to nothing about engines, most of the discussions are way above my paygrade.
Anyway, engine light lit up yesterday, went into garage, put diagnostics on it. Came up as EGR - they gave me two options. Replace (expensive) or remove and drive without it. What is the EGR, do I need it, and can I manage without it? Emissions a little higher than they should be, failed DOE test first time this year on that. Garage gave it your equivalent of "the italian tune up" before retest and all went well. Also burning oil, as I have to top up rather regularly and its not leaking out visibly so must be leaking internally.
I would be interested to hear the views of you knowledgeable people please?? Would be much appreciated, as I don't know enough to make a decision with my limited knowledge!
Thankyou!!
