It flops about in engine bay.

Its purely there to stop the oil that builds up in EGR from dripping on the top coolant hose (which would soften it, and then fail).

ah well that explains the horrible mess on my top coolant hose and adjoining areas. I don't have anything 'flopping about' in my engine bay. I hope my question isn't seen as hijacking this thread but does all this oil  affect the EGR valve itself, and will it benefit from fom being cleaned internally?

Thanks Martin
