Egr Valve Leaking 2.8Crd Grand Voyager 2006 Auto

Question

Hi Can anyone help? my car only has 37,000miles from new; Recently I foolishly ran low on Diesel and as it was parked on a slope I ran it dry trying to start it; Subsequently having replaced the fuel filter I am experiencing great difficulty getting it started from cold; Once its going it drives as normal with no management lights showing; It has stalled on me a dozen times now at very low speed and rev's   I took it to a specialist in diesel engines and he tells me the EGR valve is leaking; Can this be the problem?  BTW for the longest time I have heard a very quiet but high pitched whistle when driving and until about 5 minutes once stopped; is this a Chrysler main agent job or can any decent local garage replace it?

 

thanks

replaced the fuel filter

 

 

The test

- pump the hand primer pump until it is hard - does it start now ?

 http://www.lcool.org/technical/120_series/fuel_filter/filter2a.jpg

 

- if it starts after hand priming, its a leak in the LP fuel side

- air leaks in and the fuel lesks back to your tank

- eliminate 'leakback' first

- the 'spin~on' fuel filter is not tight enough

- the 'spin~on' water trap is not tight enough

- tighten them up !

It has stalled on me a dozen times now at very low speed and rev's

 

- could be dozens of things including leakback

- eliminate 'leakback' first

- hand primer is centre of engine area , take off the plaggi cover you will see it

- pump it, does it get hard in 3-5 pumps ?

- does the car start ok when its hand pumped ?

Best of luck !
