Today I took my 08 plate 2.3 daily to garage (Northern commercials) in Sussex, as it needed work on handbrake doing. I also asked them to diagnose the lack of power my van has always suffered from. They said it has a cracked EGR, and it was about £700 inc. parts & labour to fix. Well, I brought it to them a couple of years ago and mentioned the same lack of power, and that time they claimed it was the fact that the van was missing its cat converter, £1400 later the vans power issue wasn't fixed, and in fact seemed ever so slightly less powerful. So what do I do? I don't know any other garages in my area familiar with Iveco, but surely a second opinion would be advisable before I part with more money. The van has always suffered from a lack of power, especially when loaded on hills, I sometimes have to go down to second gear on extreme motorway gradients, though that it is the exception. Been the same for 3 years, though I sense its getting a bit worse lately, would a cracked egr valve stay like this for 3 years? Just don't know who to trust.
