Just joined, I have an 05 plate2.0TDCI Ghia , owned it for 4 months done 5.5k miles in it taking it up to 41k.
At about 40.5 k it started intermittently emitting light blue (oil?) smoke on start up first thing but not again during the day unless left for 8 hours or so.
Took it back to the dealer (not main) where I bought it and they diagnosed the EGR valve needed replacing (by them) and then trip to main dealer for software upgrade.
Picked it up yesterday evening and no smoke on starting up first thing but it returned after being stood all day at work.
It is going back tomorrow.
Question ~ do they fit reconditioned EGR valves as the service desk told the mechanic that there was a surcharge on the old unit and he needed it fetching out of the bin.
They didnt charge as I had taken out paid for extended warranty.Edited by: Quackers
