Hi and good afternoon,
I am aware that my 2002 CDTI probably needs both the EGR valve and the Thermostat replacing.The EGR valve for a little more performance and the Thermostat because the Temperature gauge only ever goes to 1/4 warm(I think that indicates thermostat stuck open)I will be buying the Thermostat replacement aluminium piece of kit that fits on the top hose.And one of the EGR replacement kits on the market but there lays the problem,due to finances which one first? EGR or Thermostat?
Other problem I have is the Climate control sometimes makes a sound not unlike a whale,i have put the car on demist and the fan is working also seem to have all speeds the climate control is not ice cold either does this mean just a recharge or is something else wrong.Hope someone can help on these questions.

Regards

Chas
