Default D4 VEA 'check engine' light / EGR fault thread

I thought it might be useful to have a single thread for those that have had the 'check engine' light pop up on their D4 VEA-engined car because of EGR valve problems.

Please post roughly how old the car was from new, and how many miles it had done when the light popped up.

For me: V60 D4 manual, 'check engine' light came on after 5 and a half months and about 6,000 miles from new. Going into the supplying main dealer this week to have a new EGR valve and EGR cooler fitted, which the dealer tells me is the recommended fix.

XC60 D4 Manual. 5 1/2 months old, 7,500 miles from new. Booked in for standard change, as described, on 28th Jan.

The good news is the dealers are not blanking this. They know the issue, I think they are expecting this to become a full recall.

Can't remember exactly when but about 3-4mths into ownership and with perhaps 5-6k on the clock. Dealer reset it on first attempt and then replaced it completely at the second visit (within days).

Just had a call from my dealer telling me not to bring my car in on Friday - it seems Volvo HQ is advising them not to fit the new EGR valves they have been shipping, but to wait for a newer revised valve which will be shipping soon. Apparently the EGR cooler is fine, but the valve is being updated again.

If your car is booked in for this work, probably worth contacting your dealer.

Do you know if the 'new revised' valve will be fitted at the factory to new build cars customers are waiting for to be delivered, or will cars on order be shipped with the current faulty one?

Can I just ask, does this light only come on at start-up, or does it appear while driving?

Mine came on while driving. Went off again a few days later on start-up. Car had already been booked in for the replacement parts by the time the light went off again though.

+1, mine came on originally while driving. Stayed for a couple of days, went off by itself then reappeared and stayed on until fixed.

Post D4 VEA 'check engine' light / EGR fault thread

The engine management light on our 10 month old S60 D4 came on at 17,500 miles the week before its first service was due. The service dept. straightaway said it was a EGR valve problem which was later confirmed during the service.
The part(s) were not in stock and have been on back order since the service date of Jan 27th 2015.
Light is obviously still lit but no on road performance issues other than the economy is calculated over the last 1000 miles at 47mpg whereas it was over 50mpg beforehand.
