Engine management light

Hi guys, the engine management light has just come on, on my RRS HSE diesel. In the book it says, petrol engines check engine, and underneath it says about emissions. Is this regarding the diesel engine or does it mean i still need an engine check.
Or can i e=wait to get the emissions done on the next MOT.

Atb, Steve.

It will be a faulty EGR valve Thumbs Up

Thanks Mikey, will it need changing straight away, or can i leave it until the next MOT about 4 months.
Your help is appreciated.
Atb, Steve.

It would be prudent to have it changed at the earliest opportunity, in case the 2nd valve fails, leaving you stranded

With a bit of practice, the valves are about an hour a side. Nothing difficult, but a bit fiddly

Thanks again Mikey, thank god for people like you. I'll have a look and see what I think.
Is there any way of knowing if It's the left or right side that is faulty. Or would you recommend changing both.
Atb, Steve.

Needs plugged in and the live values of the EGRs checked, to determine which one is at fault

There is the school of thought, that says if one has gone, the other is probably not far behind it... Not particularly cheap at £140 each though...

My thoughts exactly Mikey, so I think I'll do both of them. It's a bit of a lay out, but needs must.
Thanks for all your help, as said it's appreciated. i'll let you know how I get on.
Atb, Steve.

Spain 

I assume that as the EML came on your car is an 2007, 08, or 09. a Euro 4 spec. Have you thought about blanking the egr valves Thumbs Up In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Just thought I'd let you guys know that you can't blank off the EGR valves on an 09 plate, as It only works on tdv6 up to chassis number A6 and not EU4.

Be aware that the emulators are not as easy as it's made out to be.

You have to buy and fit the emulators, but the will not work correctly without the engine management system being updated with some modified firmware...

Thanks guys. I'm going for the EGR delete and remap. That way it will sort out the EGR valves and give more bhp and torque.

Hopefully I should have the car done within the week Thumbs Up

I'll get the remap readout up when I've had it done so you can see the improvements.

Atb, Steve.
