Servicing egr valve recall - Page 2

Bog · 4th January 2008, 14:58

My 1.8 has started to stutter lately at approx 2000 rpm and almost stalling when stopping (revs drop to about 500rpm then quickly recovers)

Funny thing is, I got a call from my dealer yesterday to fit a new power steering module (on back order from my 1st service before xmas) and I told them about this and the lady said it's a known issue and they would be changing the EGR unit at the same time. They never mentioned it during the service though

This is a very bad notice to me...
My old car was an Opel Tigra, that car have been a lot of trouble on EGR valve...

I hope Honda's service have a better solution for this.

How do we find out if our cars are affected by any of this?

My car is Feb 2007 reg, but the dealer had it as a Demo until I bought it in December so surely they would have fixed this before I got it? No?

I guess if the car is not getting suddenly "asthmatic" there is no problem, dealer says he hasn't heard of an EGR replacement on a Civic yet and the valve is different to the other models' (I wonder how though if the engine is the same?) - my wife gets hers replaced in 2 days time but that's on a Citroen

you should find out if you go on the honda website and there is a form you can fill out with your car details and it lets you know if your car has any outstanding recalls.

Anyone else experience this problem.

My 56 plate CDTi typeS if finally having the value replaced today after months of poor running at approx. 1500 RPM. Lets hope it fixes it!

It only says on the site:

Recall necessary - or words to that effect:

Doesn't actually tell you what needs doing.
