EGR valve

[Keiya]

Hi, does Mk2 have EGR valve?

 

[Cupra Kid]

Diesel or Petrol?

 

[Keiya]

1.4 petrol. I contacted SEAT and they say it doesn't have EGR valve. What could be another reason for the revs droping lower then 500 RPM when stopping. The car dies sometimes when stopping too.

 

[Cupra Kid]

It doesn't have an EGR. Buy a can of carb cleaner, take the top off your air filter and shoot the carb cleaner through the hole in the centre revving it a little while you do it.

You've got a dirty throttle body that's all, I've had four MK2's and they've all needed it at some point .

 

[Keiya]

Would STP petrol treatment an aditive for petrol work too? Or should I get a spray?

 

[Cupra Kid]

No you need the spray as petrol doesn't flow through the part of the throttle body that's affected.

Great, used a carb cleaner spray and cleaned it. Cur runs normal without any rpm swinging. Thank you very much

No problem, glad you've got it sorted

1.2 tdi 2011 egr valve fault code

Hi there new too the group im new too the forum I have a 1.2 tdi 2011 seat Ibiza the engine management light is on and the fault code is the egr valve have been searching the net looking for a replacement or a diagram on how too clean or replace the valve but cant find anything any sort of help would be much appreciated as even the local parts place does not list a part for the car

Hi, it will definitely have an EGR valve but I'm afraid my area of expertise is the older models as that's what I run. If you drop a post in the Ibiza MK5 area here I'm sure someone will be able to guide you.

Hi, me again. I have another problem. When accelerating, the car stutters. I have to step off the gas pedal and accelerate slower. This problem occurs below 2000 rpm. I though it is the ignition coil. I changed it and it is the same. The spark plugs have been changed a year ago (around 20.000 km). Any idea?

 

[Cupra Kid]

Could be a few things really, if you put standard plugs in they are probably ready for changing again but other things to consider are:

Ignition Leads
Distributor Cap
Crank Position Sensor
Fuel Filter
Head Gasket

I'd start with the cheapest and work my through the list.

 

[Keiya]

Thanks.
Today I'll try to check ignition leads and fuel filter

 

[Keiya]

It gets better when the motor is warm.

Changed the distributor cap and rotor and it got a little bit better.
Today I changed spark plug leads and the problem was solved.
Thanks
