Hi all.
I hope somebody can give some clues on what to do next.
Basically, over the last few weeks I have had the EML on and off.
The code read by the OBD was always P0400, after some research here on the Forum and following some guides (http://www.saabscene.com/forum/thre...lean-EGR-valve-on-1.9-TiD-8v-(120bhp)-engine) I bought some carb cleaner, remove the EGR and gave it a clean.
The car I have got is the Saab 9-3 TDI (150bhp).
IT was a bit clogged with carbon, so tried to get it clean.
Removed those screws and noticed that in top of the spring, the cap was loosen, ie what was supposed to be closing the egr I guess when the engine is cold, because is loosen now is not pulling the axle outwards.
I mounted everything back on the engine (after clean), all screws are now fasten, but now the engine doesn't start
Do you guys have experienced this before? Do you reckon this is happening because the egr is not closing properly and therefore sending cold exhaust gases which doesn't help when the engine is cold.
I already ordered a new EGR from ebay, hopefully this would be enough...
Appreciate any feedback from you guys.
