- Symptoms
- Loss of power when cold from a dirty EGR, a clogged particulate filter, front-axle and drive-shaft noises, headlights and tail lights that fail early and leaks from the oil filter.
- Possible cause described
- The car’s weight punishes the joints; the EGR and particulate filter suffer on short trips. There were recalls: moisture in the ABS module that could cause a short circuit with fire risk, the brake-light switch and a fuel line that could leak.
- Check for the garage
