What does EGR circuit fault mean?
A faulty EGR valve can cause problems with the flow and operation of the EGR system leading to performance issues including a reduction in power, reduced acceleration and decreased fuel efficiency. EGR valves can become stuck ‘open’ or ‘closed’ due to a build-up of soot particles, carbon deposits and dirt from fuel.
What is EGR control circuit?
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system helps minimize nitrogen oxide gases coming from your vehicle’s exhaust. The ECM/PCM detects an open circuit condition of an EGR motor control circuit for greater than 3 seconds.

When is the P0403 VOLKSWAGEN code detected? Early Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems component s include and EGR Valve, and Engine Control Μodule (ECΜ) Controlled Vacuum Switch Valve or EGR Solenoid and an EGR Vacuum Μodulator.
What does the OBD code p0403 mean?
All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty. P0403 is an OBD-II generic code that indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected the engine exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) circuit has malfunctioned. The ECM detected a short or open circuit in the EGR vacuum control solenoid or wiring to the solenoid.
What is the fault code for an EGR cooler?
Fault code was P0403 EGR Fault. I replaced the EGR valve with a new genuine part – existing was heavily coated with carbon and seized. In addition the flap valve in the EGR cooler was also seized open. I have managed to free this, so it operates under the vacuum pressure.
Is the p040300 part of the N18 part?
The P040300 should be the N18 part but what is that? In this engine I always block egr and remove dpf together. No more problems after. Waste time to replace egr in this engine
