Having recently found my issues to revolve around the EGR valve which I took off, cleaned then replaced. Used my Op-Com to clear the fault codes and now seemingly running ok. When I had the Op-Com switched on I went into the section where it provides live data feedback on how different parts of the car are running.
I selected the EGR solenoid valve section which gave me live reports on the battery and engine revs etc however I noticed that the value (in percent) next to the EGR was 0%. I also noticed that the page was showing inactive so I pressed the start activation button which caused the EGR to report 100% and the engine begin struggling to idle. Once this actiuation had finished the engine again ran as normal. Having been on a few journeys I have repeated this and now when the activation is on there is no effect on the idling.
1) Is this correct in that when inactive it should show 0% against the EGR?
2) Is it correct that when active it should affect the idle of the car?
3) Is it correct that when I now activate it there is no affect to the idle of the car??
