Engine Light On? Here’s What It Could Mean for Your Car

This week at 1Stop Motor Shop, we had an Audi A5 in the garage with its engine management light on. After running a full diagnostic check, we identified the fault – a blocked EGR valve and cooler. These crucial components were restricting exhaust flow and affecting engine performance.

What Does a Blocked EGR Valve Do?

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve helps reduce emissions by recirculating some exhaust gases back into the engine. Over time, carbon buildup can cause blockages, leading to:
Loss of power and poor fuel efficiency
Increased emissions and potential MOT failure
Rough idling or engine hesitation
Engine warning light activation

EGR Valve & Cooler Replacement – The Solution!

To fix the issue, we replaced both the EGR valve and cooler, restoring the Audi A5’s performance and fuel efficiency. The car is now back on the road, running smoothly and efficiently.
