EGR advice

Hi folks, just a quick one - am I ok to drive with EGRs on the way out? She starts ok, cruises fine, just a little sluggish pulling away. This only started today so hopefully I can get her booked in within a few weeks to get them sorted. I get code P0489 on the reader 'EGR circuit low'
Many thanks

Yeah it will be fine, drive on until you get it sorted but power may get worse if the other one let's go. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Many thanks Prof, much appreciated. In the meantime I'll give her some Wynn's EGR cleaner to see if that helps in the short term

It's an electrical issue with the EGR motors, but give it a go it can't hurt it. Thumbs Up yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Just to offer some feedback which may have resolved the EGR issue.
Took her for an hours drive cruising at 70mph, about 1950 revs and up to 2500 on the hills. Left her on the drive for a few days then repeated the drive.
Upon starting today, no engine amber light and she pulls fine under 2000 revs, where she was labouring before.
Gave her a shot of Wynn's Xtreme Diesel treatment and will be adding 2SO next week once that tank is used.
Fingers crossed
