Hi,

i know this topic has been some before and would indicate its the EGR, but please bear with me.

initially there was a light on the dash the orange one but no fault with the driving of the car, so i took it to the garage i bought it from to reset / fix this, they cleaned the EGR & reset and was ok.

Next day the light back on they replaced the EGR with a new one.

now this is when the black smoke and loss of power started happening, but if its a new EGR?? or have they fiited a re-conditioned piece of crap?

also there is a slight turbo hiss noise, but im guessing they have disturbed a pipe while changing the EGR?

any advice before i take it back to them would be appreciated

Just to update,

fixed the hiss, no nlonger doing this, reset fault light.

drove home it was fine, loss power once up a hll, had to keep dropping the throttle on/off to get it to rev.

started this morning no fault light, kept losing power :( got better as it warmed up then light came on when i stopped for fuel and turned back one =/

the garage said it takes time for ECU to learn the new EGR valve are they just talking rubbish?

should i be taking it back to fix, they're telling me to drive it for a bit and come back in a few days....
