How the NV400 gets used

The NV400 is the big Nissan, and it does big-van work. Builders run it as a tipper or dropside, moving spoil and aggregate between site and tip a few miles apart. Removal firms and parcel subcontractors run the Luton and the high-roof panel van on multi-drop rounds where the engine is switched off at every address. Hire fleets put it on 3.5-tonne chassis cab duty with a body on the back and a trailer behind. Between them, a typical week is hundreds of cold starts, long stretches of idling with the tail-lift running, and very little sustained speed.

That pattern is what fills the EGR with carbon. Recirculated exhaust gas carries soot, and soot only burns off when the intake stays hot for a proper stretch of the day. Idling and short hops never get it there, so the deposits build on the valve until it stops seating, and the cooler behind it clogs and eventually leaks.

Many NV400s also spend their working hours on ground that is not a road: housing developments, quarry tracks, farm lanes, compound yards. That is the use this service exists for.

What changes after the delete

The ECU stops commanding the EGR valve, so a valve stuck open or shut with carbon can no longer trip limp mode or store a P0400-series code. The EGR circuit is closed in software, so exhaust gas stops passing through the cooler and the route by which a leaking cooler pushes coolant into the intake is shut. There is no repeat valve bill, because the valve is no longer in use. The van stays where it is parked, the remap takes about an hour, and it is back on the job the same afternoon with the fuelling, boost and torque exactly as Nissan set them.

NV400 engines we cover

NV400 2.3 dCi, 2011 to 2022

Every NV400 sold in the UK carries the Renault M9T 2.3 dCi, in single-turbo and twin-turbo forms across outputs from around 100 to 170 PS. It is the same engine as the Renault Master Mk3 and the Vauxhall Movano B, and it fails the same way in all three. The valve sticks with carbon and the ECU logs P0401 or P0404, or the cooler fouls and starts weeping coolant with no puddle underneath. The twin-turbo versions work the EGR hardest and are the ones we hear about most. Later Euro 6 versions carry the Blue dCi badge.

The whole engine range is covered. Other Nissan vans and pickups are on the Nissan EGR delete hub. If your NV400 is a variant not listed, call 0161 694 7331 and we will confirm from the reg.

More than one NV400

If you run four NV400s, we do four in one visit, at the yard or depot, worked around your shift pattern so the vans go out as normal. £220 per vehicle, no call-out charge on top. Send us the reg for each van beforehand and we confirm the ECU type on every one before we set off, so nothing is held up on the day and each van is off the job for about an hour.

Questions from NV400 operators

Can you come to a site, depot or farm to do an NV400?
Yes. We are mobile only and cover a 40-mile radius of Eccles, which takes in Greater Manchester, most of Lancashire and Cheshire, and Merseyside. A compound, a farmyard, a hire depot or the road outside your house all work. We need the van, the keys and somewhere to stand for an hour.
I run more than one NV400. Can you do them in a single visit?
Yes. Several vans at one address in one visit is the normal way we handle small fleets. Each van is £220, and we work through them one after another so the first is back in use while the second is being done. Give us the reg numbers when you book and we prepare each file in advance.
How long is the NV400 off the road for?
About an hour, and it does not go anywhere. We connect at the OBD port where the van is parked, read the codes, write the delete, restart and check the live data, then clear the codes. No waiting for parts, no dropping the van off. If it is in limp mode when we arrive, that does not stop the remap.
Can you do the DPF and the EGR on the NV400 in the same visit?
Yes. Both deletes done in the same visit are £445, and the DPF and EGR delete page explains what that covers. It takes a little longer than the EGR alone. If the DPF light has been on alongside the EGR fault, tell us when you call so we prepare the right file for both.

Other Nissan models we cover

Arrange a visit for your NV400: call 0161 694 7331, tell us where the van is and when it is off the job, and we will come to it.

£220 per vehicle, no call-out charge, and same-day and next-day slots are common across the 40-mile radius we cover from Eccles.
