Most affected vehicles
Nissan NV300 dCi 120, dCi 140, dCi 125 (2016-2025, R9M 408, R9M 412, R9M 409)

60,000-100,000 miles

Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - EGR Cleaning/Blanking - Preventative maintenance | £450 - £850 | £280 - £520 | Remove, clean or blank EGR valve; reset ECU adaptations | Temporary fix; may delay but not prevent cooler failure on high-mileage vans |
| Intermediate - EGR Cooler Replacement - Addressing core failure | £1,200 - £2,100 | £750 - £1,400 | Replace EGR cooler assembly, clean intake manifold, update software | Restores performance; cooler may still fail again if underlying carbon issues persist |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt R9M Engine - Comprehensive solution | £2,800 - £4,200 | £1,800 - £2,900 | Supply & fit rebuilt engine with upgraded EGR components, bench-tested, 12-month warranty | Long-term fix; upgraded components reduce recurrence risk for commercial duty cycles |
Our recommendation
On an NV300 worth £8,000-£15,000 with under 80k miles, EGR cleaning or cooler replacement may offer better value. For vans over 100k miles or with multiple warning lights, a rebuilt R9M with upgraded EGR components typically saves money long-term by avoiding repeat failures and minimising commercial downtime.
