Welcome

Do you have a problem with your EGR or are just just enquiring.

EGRs can sometimes be a pain in the bottom but most of the issues stem from driving style.

Take it off and clean it.

Often they fail on emissions due to people gently tip toeing around in their mobile love nest, not driving it like a delivery van.

The Fiat (Iveco) 2.3 engine is pretty good with EGR reliability. There used to be issues with the throttle body (which also controlled the EGR) in early x250 Ducatos, but that was mostly resolved a decade ago.

Sounds like it need an italian tune up

Ours gets a clear out going up the pyrenees

That may be so but I've spent the last 20 years driving delivery vans

If you don’t drive like an old fart, doing fuel consumption flow charts, you will be fine. Mine felt like it was restricted until I got a few miles of hard driving done in it.

Have You had it from new. have you driven its 16000 miles?

What did it fail on please? We need to know the specifics so that we can work back the problem.

Cheers,

Andrew

If you have no issues with the dpf then likely it has had sufficient good speed and hot runs to regenerate so I would have expected the erg to be reasonably healthy.

The mot failure was in December you say, so it's either been laid up or you fixed it.

Assuming you fixed it Has it gone again for you to bring it up now.

Drive it like you stole it

It went again was replaced under parts warranty then went again now Fiat say it needs
New injectors low pressure egr valve 2 heat exchangers plus extras

Then tell them they should be paying for it as even under EU regulations anything is expected to last a minimum of 6 years & for stuff like that to be requiring replacement isn't on.

I would be arguing that the problem existed prior to warranty running out.
Injectors, glow plugs and egr valves should be lasting considerably more than 16000 miles.
What have fiat said is the cause of this. If it was injectors then its been ongoing from day 1.

Sounds like they either don't know what's wrong. Or some issue is causing secondary problems... or both.

For the cognoscenti Is this a known problem with the dual egr engines?
