17 – 439 viewsYou can now refit the EGR to the engine. remember to tighten up all the bolts before you refit the air pipe, otherwise you can't easily get at the bolts. I am disabling my EGR so have removed the vacuum pipe and blocked it with a small bolt, then cable clipped it to a pipe that runs below the EGR - accessible if I want to reverse things.

Refit the exhaust clamp, the intercooler pipe (it was easier to fit the bottom end then the rubber pipe to the EGR), and finally refit the engine covers.

16 – 436 viewsFinally clean out the inlet. This is @ 1.5 inches deep and will be covered again with sticky tar and muck. Use a blunt blade to scrape it clean and a cloth to remove the residue. This all helps with airflow.

14 – 441 viewsAll cleaned up and ready to refit

13 – 459 viewsAnd here is the valve in its open position. I am amazed the vacuum generated elsewhere in the engine has enough oomph to open this valve, it took some considerable pressure the open it.

12 – 580 viewsNow its all cleaned up, you can see the valve in its closed position

11 – 532 viewsAlso clean out the exhaust inlet (although this is less important if you are going to disable the EGR
640x-IMAG0422.jpg
10 – 547 viewsThe muck is most probably sticky and tar so again using a blunt blade you can scrape most of it off. Then I used good old GUNK to clean up the residue and the outsides of the EGR, and gave the cleaned up surfaces a quick rub with some emery paper.

09 – 551 viewsUndo the four bolts (10mm) holding on the EGR. This is a bit fiddly with the bottom bolts, but the right combination of sockets will help you. Take care when removing the bolts you don't loose them down into the engine bay. You can now remove the EGR and see all the muck in side.

08 – 506 viewsNext, undo the jubilee clamp that fixes and connects the exhaust pipe. You will see from the picture and the arrow how it works. You may need to encourage it to spring apart!

07 – 537 viewsFirst, undo the two jubilee clips holding the rubber hose from the intercooler, and remove the hose. You might need to gently lever the rubber away from a the EGR with a blunt blade. Remove the black and blue vacuum pipe from the EGR valve.

You are going to need a screwdriver or 7mm spanner for the jublilee clips, and a 10mm socket for the EGR bolts
