Seat Arona engine problems
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2017 Seat Arona Diesel is experiencing engine issues, including the check engine light, engine shutdowns, power loss, rough idling, strong exhaust smell, and vibrations. These symptoms suggest a potential problem with the EGR valve, which is crucial for exhaust gas recirculation. A similar case with a 2015 Seat Leon was resolved by replacing the defective EGR valve and cleaning the connecting hoses, leading to improved engine performance. It is advised to have the EGR valve checked and possibly replaced to prevent further engine damage.

Hey, yes, I remember it very well. The repair cost me a total of €355. That included replacing the EGR valve and cleaning the connecting hoses. Since then, my Leon has been running perfectly again and I haven't had any more problems. The mechanic also said that the EGR valve is now working perfectly again. I hope this helps you and you get your problem solved quickly! Best regards,

Hey, I had similar problems with my 2015 Seat Leon. The symptoms were almost identical: check engine light on, loss of power, bumpy engine and strong exhaust smell. In my case, the EGR valve was also defective or stuck. This is actually a serious matter, as the EGR valve is responsible for exhaust gas recirculation. If it doesn't work properly, it can cause engine problems and lead to damage in the long term. During the last workshop visit, the defective EGR valve was replaced and the connecting hoses cleaned. The engine then ran perfectly again. I would advise you to visit a workshop as soon as possible and have this checked. I hope this helps you! Greetings,
