Looking over a Volvo C30 2007 1.6 petrol...

after the 'EML' came on (which I later discover rather interestingly isnt technically an EML, but only covers emissions-related engine maladies, there are other dash lights which alerts the driver to other systems issues, which is nice, rather than a single 'umbrella' EML a la Omega that tells you something is wrong somewhere) this had a code reader put on it, which the mechanic alleged to read the EGR being dirty.

Sorted... gladly I said we'll pop the EGR off, give it a clean out, and Robert's your Mother's Brother. However...having trawled through Mr Internet it seems the 1.6 petrols dont have an EGR!! Can anyone with experience of this / Fraud Zetecs confirm this - or advice as to what may be meant by 'EGR' - did they mean another component? Engine runs sweet as a nut, no issues, so I suspect a dirty sensor/similar.

Anyone!? Cant see anything that looks vaguely 'EGR-y' under the bonnet.

PS engine code is B4164S3.

DBW petrol engines also have separate EML and Emissions lights.
