Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AGR engine.
Engine AGR commonly faces EGR valve clogging due to soot buildup, leading to rough idling, reduced power, and increased emissions. Diagnosis involves checking for error codes (e.g., P0401), inspecting the valve for carbon deposits, and testing its operation. Prevention includes using quality fuel, regular oil changes, and periodic cleaning of the EGR valve and passages. Solutions range from thorough cleaning with appropriate solvents to replacing the valve if faulty. Additionally, ensure the intake manifold and related sensors are clean to maintain proper function. Timely maintenance helps avoid costly repairs and keeps emissions within legal limits.
