Hi folks....re my 99 Jack 3.0 TD ... dash light says
check engine - book says the Engine Management System needs a look at - dealer says "bring it in" - we'll stick it on the machine that goes "ping". Most liikely something like the EGR valve they said - can anyone contribute on what this is - something about exhaust gas recycling.....can this be right ?
If this is the problem , any experience that contributors could share would be appreciated. I believe in being as informed as possible, thereby reducing the chances of a stitch-up.
Thanks........dp

Darian, when your "
check engine" light comes on, there is obviously a fault somewhere in your system.
When this happens, the onboard computer logs a fault & when the dealer plugs their computer in, it comes up with a specific fault code that tells them exactly what the fault was.
For example, if the vehicle has overheated, the code will tell them that at some stage there has been a problem with the cooling system.
Go to the dealer, get the code read & i'm sure they'll tell you exactly what the problem was/is.
