EML light on, lack of power and lots of dark smoke = EGR valve stuck open. Take it off and give it a good clean with paint stripper, then lube it and re-fit

The garage have checked and cleaned the EMG valve, no better.
They say they have checked the turbo and thats ok.
To change the fuel valve, they say minimum of 1 day to remove, and one day to fit new one+ £800 cost of valve.
have told me to scrap it.
Can someone help me make a decision or provide miracle cure.
thanks feeder54

need to get some one off hear near to you or a garage that can actualy read vauxhall omega codes and say scrap it tells me they clearly do not know what they are doing,eml light on means a code should be stored in ecu memory a fault is there, so for them to not get anything is bullshit,get some one with proper equipment for the job

You can't pedal trick any of the 4 pots, petrol or diesel.

Where are you feeder?

Crank sensor ok.  Water temperature gauge not working.  Codes as follows

The garage came up with P1220 start of injection control deviation.

P1590 Auxiliary heater- open circuit

The fuel tank is full.

won't have adis pack will it if it is dissel will it

now how did the service got out these codes the second time is a miracle ).this is what i got out of TIS(opel)

P1220      Critical system malfunction 1 (refer to checking procedure: trouble code description)

Actual start of injection value is out of range
Effect:
Maximum performance will be reduced.

The fuel system is very sensitive. Work should be done with high cleanliness and care. Air in the fuel system can cause damage to the injection pump. That's why the vehicle must never be driven till the fuel tank is empty.
Check fuel tank for correct fuel sort content
Check the concerned system for leaks
Check the correct fitting of the connections and sealing.
(use only sealing, that is approved by the vehicle manufacturer)
Plugging, leakage, air or water in fuel system
Note:
Bleed fuel system with KM-948 and suitable adapters.


Compare the data list parameters over the whole reachable engine-speed range.
Compare the following Data List Parameters:
Diagnostic Tester Data List Parameter
Desired Injection Start
&
Diagnostic Tester Data List Parameter
Actual Injection Start

if there is something with desired and actual then do this:
Check fuel tank for correct fuel sort content
Check connections of the fuel lines (Quick Fittings).
Check leak-oil lines.
Check condition of the three-way fittings.
Check the sealing of the fuel inlet and return lines at the injection pump.
(use only sealing, that is approved by the vehicle manufacturer)
Check tightening-torque of the hollow screws.
Check fuel filter
Point of breaks / scuff marks at the fuel or injection lines


this error is the worse error ever. it can be a seal, timing, injection pump to mechanical engine problems like pistons, valves etc. check all of the above then come back

p.s. is it diesel in your tank??
