2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Stornoway Grey

MIL Ligth on

Yesterday the MIL ligth come up

According to ny ODBII reading the EGR is not working properly

I clean the failure to see if it is a false lecture. So later on we will see if the problem coming up again.

Cheers Eduardo

Hi Ed, the fact that the MIL light came on shows it's a tested DTC and should only be reset if you are out of warranty as tested dtc's are required for a claim using IDS at the dealers. What code did you receive? Does the self clean cycle run when you switch off, 5 pukka pukkas? Any change in the engine when running at idle, ie rougher or smoother or no change? If it was stuck closed I would ignore it and revel in the better mpg, if it was stuck open I would be looking to get it rectified soon as

Im out of guarantee, so no problem with clean up the code.
Anyway will be with the dealers on Thursday for the parking brake recall and to change the clutch master cylinder. (I should prepare my pocket I think

)

Error was P0401.

Yes, and you may need to dip the wifes pocket as well what with the dealers prices for labour

Update.

After clean the fault codes yesterday morning the MIL has not appeared again (As I was afraid), so probably was a false positive (I hope).

The motor are running equal than before and the squecks when you turn off the engine are there.

Thanks war pig for the comment, the photo was taken in the north of Chile near an astronomic observatory.

Cheers! Eduardo

Finally and after looking several alternatives I bought this cheap piece

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PYBZJO

The provided software can erase the error codes stored in the ECU.

Thanks for the information, the device you use sound interesting and cheap but it need a connection with a laptop computer to run.

I prefer a sand alone device like the Scangauge2.

Yep,

It is not standalone unit like Scangauge2
In my case do the work that I need: I only need to check the system in real time if something fails and always in long trips I have the laptop with me.

If you are interested there is some ones that you can connect to a handheld (CE-windows or Android software needed) via bluetooth at almost the same cost.

Update

Bad news

Ligth come up again yesterday night

So today I will see if it is the same code and probably next week will be again with the dealers to solve it.

All that after change the clutch master cylinder and make the recall the last week.

I should love a lot this car
