EGR Valve Leaking Air
« on: 14 July 2009, 14:04:15 »
Hi, my EGR Valve (98 2.5 ELite) is leaking hot air between the Ally base and the metal plate. Is it possible to dismantle and seal and put back.

thanks David

Sadly not but, you can fabricate a steel blanking plate to sandwich between the EGR valve and its mount to block it off

I'm not to sure wich seal you mean but I had a prob with the seal to the pleunum, so I got gasket paper from local shop and made a new gasket. up to now it is still solid no with leaks.

Looks like the questions answered but heres the Pic and arrow pointing to leak, thanks for the feedback



If I blank it, do I not have to mod the ecu, as I read somwhere on here. Also any effect on Petrol consumption, can I mod ecu without tech2?
Cheers
