Hi All,

I am looking for some help here, Recently my car dies when I approach a junction, for example when I clutch and slow down the engine dies with the battery light on. I then turn the key and it starts straight away. The alternator was changed out about 6 months ago along with a new battery.

Any help would be great.

Cheers
 
Similar thing happened recently on my Opel Zafira. Over the course of two or three days, it got steadily worse. Mechanic thought it might be a dirty carburettor, but in the end it needed a replacement 'engine membrane' (whatever that is!), which stopped it happening - so far, anyway. The part cost about €300.
 
I have now been told that it could be the EGR valve, Could anyone shed some light on this. How much would I expect to pay for the valve and is it expensive to buy?

Thanks
