(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A Seat Leon from 2008 is experiencing several issues, including an indicator light on, engine stalling, power loss, rough running, strong exhaust smell, and vibrations when idling. These symptoms suggest a potential problem with the EGR valve, which can cause such issues if it is stuck. It is advised to have the EGR valve checked and repaired at a garage to prevent further damage and ensure the car runs smoothly again.

Hello, thank you for your feedback, that doesn't sound so good. I will take your advice and have my Leon checked as soon as possible. Out of curiosity, do you happen to remember how much it cost you to repair the EGR valve? And have there been any other problems since then, or is your Ibiza now running smoothly again? I look forward to an answer and thank you in advance! Have a safe journey!

Hey, you're welcome, no problem. Yes, I still remember the price. The repair of the EGR valve cost me 355 euros. Since the mechanics got the EGR valve under control, my Ibiza is fit again. I haven't had any more problems since then and the car runs smoothly. I would definitely say get your Seat checked. It may cost a little, but your Leon will thank you afterwards. Hang in there and have a good journey! Best regards.

Hey, great, thanks so much for the info! I'm honestly a bit relieved to hear that. Now I have an idea of what to expect. That 355 euros is definitely better than investing in an unsafe drive. So I will get my Leon repaired as soon as possible and have the EGR valve checked. Thanks again and take care out there! Regards.

Hello, Well, I had similar symptoms with my Seat Ibiza, diesel, built in 2011. The indicator light was also on and the engine was running rough with a drop in power. The problem was actually the EGR valve. Basically the valve is stuck and causing all these problems. It's a more serious issue, yes, but it's even worse to ignore it. It affects exhaust emissions and can also damage the engine if left unfixed. But don't worry, it's fixable. So, in my experience, I would recommend getting it checked at a garage as soon as possible. They have all the tools and know-how there to fix the problem. Hopefully that will help. Have a safe journey!
