Strange Fault Code
12. Apr 2011 at 22:16

Had a single quick EML light flash up on my drive home tonight.

When I got back I checked the stored fault codes and had...129..register. Now when checked codes on forum it appears to be EGR low voltage.

Is this just a "one off" probably never to be repeated or should I be looking further into this,possibly cleaning the EGR or checking the electrical connectors on the top.

Will also look into the possibilty of blocking the valve off with the blanking plate gasket ,but unsure why this is such a good idea if a simple clean up will do the trick.
