Safety Recall

Lexman8 · Nov 8th, 2019, 13:49

Have just received a letter re the inlet manifold problem on four cylinder diesel engines manufactured between 2014 and 2019.

The solution is a software update to the Engine Control Module and the fitment of additional hoses to re-route the cooling system of the EGR system.

The fix is available now.

Cheers Lexman8!

At least there’s some hardware involved as well..

Yes - got my letter this morning. I'm booked in for next Wednesday - it will be interesting to hear what the service dept have to say about this fix and how it addresses the issue (I'm not quite clear what a software upgrade fixes...).

Well the software can fix a lot of things. The software 'tells' the hardware (where movling parts are involved) how to work!

The software update merely introduces a new monitoring regime that can tell if intake valves are sticking open and then raise an alarm should this happen... I read that somewhere on another forum thread (probably in the P3 section)

It's not only this. The work of the EGR will be changed as well. IMO they are trying to reduce the temperature in the manifold.
