Error Code P02E1

Quick Google search says po21e isCylinder 11 Injection Timing?Edited by: ganda

Hi ganda.

Thanks for the reply. It's only 4 cylinder engine so it won't be cylinder 11.

Just realised I posted the wrong code. I should have typed PO2E1.Edited by: Timbo

You may want to have a look at this thread, Captiva is the sister car of the Antara. It seems to point at theexhaust gas recirculation(EGR)

This bit was interesting:


"Looks like the EGR valve on the Captiva is a common problem. The garage has told me they cant get one for over a week. Chevvy says they are supplying around 60 of these a week."

Hi ganda.

Yes I have seen that. I told Vauxhall I thought it was the EGR valve but they said no it wasn't, but they were unable to tell me what it is. I have ordered an EGR valve today with gaskets and vacuum hoses.

Hi Timbo You could have tried cleaning the EGR valve before buying one. In most cases they only need a clean but garages like to replace them just for the sake of it.

I had a problem with the EGR in my 55 plate Rover 75 - bought a EGR bypass valve - had no further issues

Fitted the new EGR Valve and it made no difference. Managed to locate the MAP Sensor. I took it out and it was all gummed up with thick black greasy sludge. I cleaned it with paraffin and a stiff brush and hey presto all is good again <img src="http://www.antaraownersclub.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" align="middle" /> Be careful if you tackle this yourself the sensor is quite delicate it has a black bulb in the centre you must not damage.Edited by: Timbo

For people who don't know what all the sensors are for and what they do, this is quite a good link. http://standardbrand.com/Standard%20-%20Just%20The%20Facts-Just%20The%20Facts/Content.aspx
