Ok update have finally cured all problems ..the code p1286 equates to code 41E2 abgasruekfuchrsteller,ansteuerung Exhaust gas recirculation actuator, control..( egr solinoid ) ..going back over all that Ive done in the last couple of months .I now believe I actually cured the original fault at the begining ..but because of my own over cautiousness I replaced parts that I could get to whilst I could believeing this would save time .I infact introduced extra problems 1 the damaged gasket ( this had to be done as I had removed manifold ) 2 fitting a new solinoid .the EGR problem (fault code 4501) was obviously caused by loss of pressure from inlet manifold . once I had cured this I got the 1286 code but that has is stated earlier is a generic code that can send you all around the planet ..it was only when i got a replacement k-dcan cable and had INPA running correctly that i got the 41E2 code pointing directly to the EGR solinoid I swapped it back out and put in the original ..cleared all codes and the car has done over 500 miles since that includes a few short Drives and one of over 50 miles straight ..multiple starts and stops ..ive tried to upload copy of inpa diagnostic print out but it wont let me .I believe I got the cloud of black smoke because i was running with egr unplugged at one point ..im getting no codes or problems with DPF .Im going to run a professional fuel system cleaner through it just as a back up ..if any body else has similer probs i hope putting down my experiances helps them out and I m quite willing to answer any questions if i can .
Hi, I keep getting the dreaded engine light and P0401 code reappear.
I have fitted a new EGR Valve and Cooler and the light and code pop back up within ten miles of clearing.
Did you conclude that cleaning the intake manifold was the actual means by which you managed to get rid of the p0401code?
Any help would be gratefully received as it is driving me mad.
Thanks
