The intake manifold switch over valve is not working on this vehicle,
By way of no vacuum going to manifold switch over valve, I found
solonoid valve not being switched on by ECU, checked earth return
to ECU multi-plug, found it to be satisfactory auto data lists earthing
points for ECU, as 50B 52B 54B 56B but i find three of these earth pins
multi plug non existent ECU Earths? ECU?

Any feed back greatly accepted: Paul 8

You seem to know what your talking about so I would suggest you Google BBA reman then ask on the problem page. The site is mainly used by 'The Trade' and is very good (very high tech). Good Luck.

I can?t say I have much knowledge with cars but here goes lol
I have 02- DTi elegance and decided I?d go over components checking one by one before the car has been in the garage 6 times this year having vacuum pipes cleared and was advised EGR valve may require replacing. I replaced solenoid only and have not yet experienced any symptoms since like i.e. Engine management light coming on and poor power acceleration, heavy smoke discharge at cold startup I may not have solved any problems but at the moment I have done nothing else and its fine.

I intend to remove EGR and clean soak in petrol 24hrs to remove all carbon and refit with new gaskets to see if I have any further improvements

{edited to remove the SHOUTING!}
