My Mazda garage confirmed that the engine malfunction light was due to the EGR valve and wanted to charge me £400+ for a new valve. The car isn't driving badly but does have idle problems occasionally and can stall at low revs.
I have read elsewhere on this site that the EGR valve can be cleaned and that there is EGR valve cleaner available which I have located at my local motor factors. My problem is how do I find where to spray this cleaner as the guys in the motor factors had no idea and I don't know where the air intake hose is located. The car is a diesel. Can anyone help?
