Could anyone please confirm whether they think this is likely to be the
EGR valve? Is it possible to test/dismantle it to find out? The HBOL
offers no help.

The car's done less than 40K miles and now it suddenly came up with this
fault. Coincidentally just after filling up at one of the 'affected'
Tesco's garages.

I called a Renault garage, they say they haven't had any diesels come in
due to bad fuel, Tesco say it absolutely couldn't be them.

I know the focus has been on unleaded, but is it possible that silicone
in the diesel could clog this valve up, or is it just wishful thinking
on my part?

TIA

Damn damn damn damn damn.

I got a new EGR - cost me a small fortune. Plugged it in to test
(didn't remove the old one 'cos it's still stuck in). Started engine,
reset fault code - fault code comes back immediately. P2413 again.

HBOL offers no help - take it to a Renault dealer.

Any ideas? Anyone?

Please?

TIA
