04 19dci Misfire and smokey exhaust - Gairloch
Hi Folks,

Looking for some guidance here.

My mother in laws car (Scenic 1.9DCi '04), has started to play up. Symptoms are slight miss at idle and low revs, rattly engine, burning smell and smokey exhaust. All seemed to start at same time. Car still seems to have power, turbo seems to be working and misfire seems less noticeable at higher revs.

I've read a bit about EGR valve problems on these cars, and from what I've read it does sound like the valve may be sticking, but before I take it off and clean it, because it looks like a bit of a job. I wondered if anyone else agrees with my line of thinking, or if there is anything else that sounds a more likely culprit?

Best regards

Gairloch
