Egr p0401...

So for the past few days i've being researching this code and how to fix the problem, so today i started to check the hoses and as i read the hose was loose. It was'nt off but loose as you can see in the video below. So now i tried putting a zip tie on it but seems like it does'nt get tight so i'll try buying a new hose see if that helps.

There's also another hose on the egr valve...so maybe that's the one that is actually off and causing the code.

Did you clear the code after putting the lines back on? I know it sounds like a dumb question but the code will not clear itself
