Question 1

Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

To ensure that you get the correct EGR valve, it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed valves. Some important information for selecting the correct EGR valve is the type of valve required e.g. electric or mechanical (pneumatic) and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some valves will only be suitable for particular models of certain years.

Question 3

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

Mechanic (Pneumatic) EGR valve and Electric EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves recirculate a portion of the exhaust gas from the engine (5% to 15%) back into the combustion process. This ensures that the fuel is completely burned while decreasing the emission of harmful gases such as nitrous oxide. Some indications that your EGR valve is becoming faulty are an increase in exhaust particles, rough idling & misfiring and hard starting. When replacing the EGR valve, the valve is not always as accessible in each model of vehicle. A helpful tip when fitting the new valve is to wrap a small piece of plastic around the socket of your wrench and then insert the bolt in to the socket. By doing this, it wedges the bolt in the socket allowing you to fit the valve without dropping these essential fitment components in to the engine bay.
