I have the following Fault code error message P3101 Motor fault Inlet Manifold Flap - Can this be fixed or does to need to be replaced? The engine warningl ight constantly stays on and i need to fix the problem on a cheap if i can so that the light goes off. I notice sometimes that when i turn the heating on it does smell of exhaust odour at certain times - do you think it is assoicated?

Possible Symptoms
Higher fuel consumption
Insufficient acceleration above 100-120 kmh
Shutting off the engine is not nice and easy

Possible Causes
Intake Manifold Flap (V157) or the motor for V157 doesn't work well.

Possible Solutions
Check wiring and connections
Check / Replace V157, but probably you have to replace the whole EGR
Special Notes
The Intake Manifold Flap (V157) has a function in the EGR and in shutting off the (diesel) engine.

The strange thing is that the light was not on when i purchased it - ity only came on after i repalced the CAT which was faulty - surely that could not casued the intake manifold flap to fail hence the warning light comming on. I usually gert 45-47mpg compared to 61mpg that is claimed - i put in 20 litres of fuel and get just over 200 miles with a mixture of urban driving. The temperature needle stays at 0 for quite some time and then climbs up slowly to 90 where it stays - is that unusual?
