D4 VEA 'check engine' light / EGR fault thread

[Pointer7]

Yes it was, to be fair they have always been pretty good for me until that minor hiccup about the goodwill.

That’s great

I just got mine back yesterday evening. I’m happy and sad - in December I paid my local garage £1300 for a new EGR valve, because Volvo advised them that is what was needed when they researched in…..but not the EGR cooler…..that was done yesterday at Volvo on goodwill and they told me they had also replaced the EGR valve too because it had been clogged up again as when changed in December, the cooler had not been done same time…..so sad as £1300 spent, but then happy as had almost £2000 work done yesterday and for free, as initially they’d said the EGR cooler was on goodwill but seems they did the Valve and Cooler all under it - so am happy for that and fact that if the other was clogged already, would have caused issues down the line.

But, all done now yay!!!

Pleased you got sorted but it's nowhere near £2k worth of work is it?

The cooler is available between £500-£600 new...

The valve is anywhere between £400 and £600 new...

These are genuine Volvo branded part prices. If you buy the same parts from the actual manufacturer (who Volvo source them from) then they are nearly half that.

So parts £1k and half a day labour for a tech who knows his onions should see the cost top out at £1,300-£1,400 even at main dealer. Should be well under a grand at an Indy.

Volvo have confirmed that they will replace the EGR Cooler and Intake Manifold at no cost to me.

Hurrah

My Indy garage bought the part direct from Volvo and my bill just for the EGR valve replacement was £1300. Volvo had quoted £1800 but thinking that must have been with the cooler as well.

Hi, so we have just had the P04D9 (EGR) error code come up on our Volvo V40 D4 (2015 model) which has done £76k miles and has been through all the recalls that have come up. I was about to take it to a local (non volvo) garage and pay for it to be looked at but then spotted this thread. Is there anything I should be aware of please as noted previous members have talked about this being a manufacturing fault and volvo contributing towards fixing it?

Thanks, Graham

Take it to Volvo, get it diagnosed by them. Then ask for a goodwill contribution. They seem to be covering anything relating that particular code.

And if your dealer refuses the goodwill initially, try Volvo head office and plead your case with them, it’s what I had to do but it worked.

Thanks I will take it in to them and get it diagnosed. Presumably they are going to charge £100+ though just to diagnose when I already know the fault code?
