The swirl flaps is just a precaution and nothing to do with your issue at the momment.Hopefully,you may not even have them.
Like I said earlier,the codes always point in the right direction,even tell you EML is not working
.
I would change the EGR solenoid first and update your software ,especially since the EML isnt coming on,like the codes say!
The glow plugs are only used on cold starts,so unless at least one in shorted to ground,they have no influence when the engine is warm and your erratic issue.
Is yours an Auto like mine?24 mpg is not too bad for local /motorway mix,especially if you have a heavy foot.This is what i am getting with mine ,when I just drive local and the car hardly warms up.I only get 30mpg + when I drive on motorways at constant speeds up to 100 mph (oooops....I meant to say ,on german autobahns!
)
Yes.a re-map can be make your car more economical,as we raise the torque limiters so the engine doesnt need to use as higher revs!
We do both ECO and POWER re-maps.
You have an ECU problem anyway,since your EML is not coming on,so you will need a software update or restored.
If you could send me the existing map (or go to our Stroud installations and they will read and send me the map),I can check it against another 3.0D map
with same software as yours and tell you if your map is original or re-mapped!
I can even make you a nice ECO map for your car.An ECO map will still have more HP/TORQUE than standard but is more economically designed.
