EGR engine light.

I’m looking to buy a used car but the seller has told me that the egr engine light is on and it has been blanked off. I’ve looked online as it’s says that’s a massive no no. I was also told the reason why it’s been blanked off was because the car has been remapped. Should I still be looking to buy the car or should I stay clear of it?

If you’re desperate for a car and money is tight then look somewhere else. To get a garage to sign off on it might be a hassle and expensive. Plus you’ll be sucking down fuel more then if all was in order for that car.

Just buy something new or in real good shape

I don’t know where you are but in the US many auto parts stores (Auto Zone, Advanced Auto etc) will read that code at no charge and tell you what it means.

@redredred THIS should be the best answer. That check engine light may actually be a cheap and easy fix.

Avoid that one. Find something that hasnt been tampered with
My truck and car both have this light on and they both get driven alot no problems yet ...

Keep looking. The ECM itself could be bad. You don't want to inherit someone else's problem.
