Having problems on my mk4 astra deisel
get a fault code that says the egr valve is playing up
can I take this out somehow?
or is it possible to take it out and clean it?
its 200quid for a new part and I don't really want to spend that much on a diesel


Cheers Ben

hi,

i have the same problem on a corsa we own - phoned vauxhall hey 130 quid plus vat. however found one for 35 quid second hand.

on some vauxhalls this valve is on the top side of the engine and so is quite easy to change/get to. however sometimes you have to come from underneath to change it and this is a bit of a dog. Good luck.

i take it you are suffering form lack of power and on start up the car is missing ???

have heard you can blank this off on some lumps, just wondered if I could on thsi

any chance of getting the moved to mechanical and electrical? I put this in the wrong forum :)
