E7 lost all power again,will hardly move 2 feet before cutting out again.When putting foot on accelerator revs uneven then dies,lot's of grey smoke!.Egr 8 month old.New control valves 5 months ago when it acted just like this.Had service today wonder if they have touched something.Worked well for 30 miles the I parked it on my drive on an upward incline,which I don't normally.Did that disturb something?. Back to Garage tomorrow!.

EGR gubbed again sounds like. I had one only lasted 5000 mls. Got refund and replacement under warranty from Peugeot. It's a sh!t design, the valve is only secured on the end of the shaft by a small spot weld which eventually breaks. You'd think they'd know by now to make a better job of it :evil:

Correct E7 fan,egr had gone again!.Sent it back to the original garage who fitted it from the other garage that diagnosed it .Fitted under warranty meanwhile I lost money as per usual.Is there a way of eliminating from showing up on the computer [edited by admin] after blanking it off,A couple of ppl have mentioned it ?.
Lasted 18k miles by the way before collapsing.
