Renault Laguna Coupe - EGR Valves? - Ali1967

Is it possible for an EGR valve to produce smoke on cold starrting? I've got a 2002 Laguna 1.9 diesel and after a long journey recently the engine was idling roughly on morning start up, it also kicked out some white smoke.

I've had it in two garages and that's their best bet, the car seems to be running fine now though?

Take it of and clean it these renaults suffer terriblly from egr problems also the turbo is another well known trouble causer.

Clean it up and sell it whilst it is still working.

(I am deadly serious)

Thanks for the info/advice, the more I read about this the more I'm stunned that Renault can get away with making such shoddy cars I won't be buying another that's for sure!!
