Hi,
I've recently had my check engine light come on once in awhile and brought my 2000 Jetta TDI in yesterday to have it plugged in. They got the code 19586-P3130, which is for exhaust gas recirculation, EGR system exceeded (whatever exactly that means!) They told me it was sporatic and they reset it. I told them that basically I drive about 7 miles each way to work and it could be that I'm not highway running the car and opening it up to run the exhaust out completely. Now about a year ago or so I had some carbon buildup that had to be cleaned out. Questions are, 1. Is this something I should worry about, and 2. Do I need to 'jump on it' periodically to blow out the exhaust, and 3. Does this or will this help?
I've been told it would, but just wanted confirmation. Thanks!
Joe
