EGR flow does not match what the ECU commanded. It is the performance version of P0401 and points at carbon or a cooler fault.

P2413 — also written P2413, P 2413, 2413 — is the OBD-II code for exhaust gas recirculation system performance. Same code, same fix: this page covers every spelling of it.

P2413 is a emissions fault code, typically costing £120–£900 to put right in a UK garage.

What causes P2413?

  • Carbon-clogged EGR valve or passages
  • Blocked EGR cooler
  • Failed EGR temperature sensor
  • Sticking EGR bypass flap

How P2413 is fixed

  • Clean the EGR valve and inlet passages
  • Flush or replace the EGR cooler
  • Replace the temperature sensor

P2413 repair cost in the UK

Most P2413 repairs land between £120–£900 including parts and labour. The spread is wide because the cheap fix (a sensor, a hose, a leak) and the expensive fix (a major component) throw the same code — which is why a proper diagnosis before parts are bought saves the most money.

Can you drive with P2413?

Drivable, often with reduced power and more smoke.

Urgency: medium.
