Garagey Joy

The car's with the garage again today - but only just, it stalled 5 times on the one minute drive to them up the road. Three times without moving, waiting for the lights to change. Jokes.

It's been there since 8am this morning, and I'm still waiting to hear how it's going. Unfortunately in this case, I doubt that no news will be good news, at least where my wallet is concerned.

Stop the press! Literally just as I was about to post the entry, my phone rang. Off to pick up the car now - wish me luck.

Update: Seems a bit better now! He cleaned the EGR valve, and it now seems to be fine. Need a bit more driving before I can be sure, but... fingers crossed!

From Wikipedia:

EGR is typically not employed... at idle (low-speed, zero load) because it would cause unstable combustion, resulting in rough idle.

Interesting...
