Problems with check engine light and engine performance on Seat Tarraco Diesel 2019 - suspected defective EGR valve

Hello everyone, I'm having problems with my 2019 Seat Tarraco Diesel. The check engine light comes on, the engine shuts itself off, loses power and is unstable. In addition, the exhaust smells strongly and the car shakes when idling. I suspect that the fault is coming from the EGR valve. Has anyone had similar experiences and can give any tips on how to rectify the fault? I am particularly interested in how the problem was solved by your garage. Many thanks in advance.

A 2019 Seat Tarraco Diesel is experiencing issues with the check engine light, engine shutdowns, power loss, instability, strong exhaust smell, and shaking when idling. The suspected cause is a defective EGR valve. A similar case with a 2017 Seat Ateca diesel involved a faulty and stuck EGR valve, which was resolved by a garage repair. It is advised to have the vehicle inspected by a garage to confirm the diagnosis and address the problem.

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2017 Seat Ateca diesel. I have limited experience with cars, so I referred the problem to my garage. They found that the EGR valve was faulty and stuck. The repair cost 355 euros. Could you perhaps provide a little more information about your vehicle, such as mileage and whether you've had similar problems before? Then I might be able to help you more precisely.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply. My mileage is 21753 km. I've never had problems like this with the EGR valve before and I have a feeling it was overlooked at the last inspection too. Your experience is really helpful. It looks like I'll have to go to the garage too!

Hey, no problem, I'm happy to help! Given the mileage, it's pretty unusual that the EGR valve is already broken. On the other hand, these parts can also be damaged by bad fuel or heavy short distance driving. It's definitely a good idea to have it looked at and repaired. Be sure to troubleshoot it properly at the garage, maybe the problem could be the cause of your other symptoms. Good luck! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Great, thanks for your advice! I will definitely make sure that the garage makes an accurate diagnosis and I will also ask them about the EGR valve. I'll let them know how it goes. But for now it's off to the garage. I hope the problem will be solved soon. Thanks again for your help!
