3 weeks ago the Mrs's Astra started to lose power and became undrivable. She took it to the garage and they diagnosed a blocked EGR and cleaned it out.
It worked ok until last night when the same problem happened. The AA diagnosed it as a PO409 EGR Sensor A Circuit problem, the same as before.
The guy cleared the fault codes and told us it needed a new EGR but we were able to drive the 10 miles home ok.
That's the background.
We've got a car on order but delivery is still a few months away. We don't want to spend on this one if we can avoid it.
How much is it to replace an EGR?
Is blanking it off a cheaper option?
Can we just clear the fault codes if it happens again? It ran fine after the AA did it last night.
Thanks
