P0401 Insufficient EGR Flow - Peugeot 206 1.1 2003

Kieron26

Hi All,

I have had this fault code come up on my reader and I have heard about cleaning the EGR valve out but I cannot seem to find anything on the internet in order to locate this.

Can someone please provide a photograph with it highlighted or explain to me where it is on the TU engine on a 206.

Thanks:beer:

Invest in a manual, It will pay for itself many times over.

EGR's on petrol cars dont get that dirty. Possibly faulty.

Is it vacuum controlled? Air leak?

I dont have a clue, i just bought a £20 fault code reader from ebay and it come up with this code. I have used it before and its been right on the injector codes i had before so i know its reliable.

How can i find out if its vaccum controlled or an air leak, i dont even know where it is or looks like when the bonnet is open.

I changed the coilpack once when it needed doing from a dodgy Sagem one to a Bujicord which was recommended for this engine.

Thanks for your reply :-)

EGR will be linked to the inlet and exhaust system. Seriously think about getting a manual.

Usually cheapest on Amazon. Sometimes new ones are cheaper than 2nd hand ones on ebay.

its only an emissions device to save the childrens children
if car is running ok and fuel efficient then they are sometimes best left seized shut

make a blanking plate, remove it block off hole. then comes the EGR fault code becuase its removed, some people have bough a 20p PCB board resistor and linked it to the connector plug to read a curcuit wich stopped the codecoming up.
