Land Rover & Jaguar EGR Fault Fix – Clearing P0401 & P049B Codes

Struggling with EGR flow issues on your Land Rover or Jaguar? If you've seen fault codes P0401 (EGR Flow Insufficient) or P049B (EGR Cooler Performance), you're not alone. These are common issues in modern diesel vehicles — and we see them regularly here at MB Motors Rugeley, your trusted Jaguar Land Rover repair specialist in Staffordshire.

What Are P0401 and P049B Fault Codes?

The fault codes relate to issues in your car’s Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system:

  • P0401: EGR Flow Insufficient
  • P049B: EGR Cooler Performance Fault

These codes often appear due to:

  • Carbon build-up in EGR valves and coolers
  • Sticky or restricted EGR valves
  • Faulty sensors or inefficient cooler performance
