2009 1.4TD Mazda 2 TS2 EGR valve
 

Hi,

Can anyone help me? I've been trying to locate the EGR valve on the above car as I think it needs cleaning/replacing.

I frequently can smell exhaust fumes in the car and today the car went into limp mode. I may be wrong about the diagnosis but figured there would be no harm in locating it and cleaning it.

Unfortunately I can't get my hands on an OBD reader right away to check what code I had when it went into limp mode.

I disconnected the battery for a few hours to clear the code and it hasn't come back on yet, but fear it may do soon.

I also noticed the oil was very low on the dipstick (although no light on) so topped this up, could this have caused the limp mode? I'm new to Mazda's.

Thank you in advance
