Nice Upgrade

[crager34]

Does replacing the EGR also replace the "EGR tube"? That is, does it solve the clogged EGR tube problem? Last time my VX saw the mechanic, they mentioned that it was about 80% clogged, and if it totally closed off, it would suck all the oil out of the engine.

We all know what THAT means...

So anyway, if $200 and 10 minutes can save me from a blown engine, then I'm there.

The one I got from Autozone did not include an EGR tube. Just the valve and the gasket.

Has anyone tried a Snake-bit to clean the EGR tube:

Also, there's a seller on eBay who sells OEM EGRs for $109 shipped:

I believe that unit will work on the VX (better cuz I bought one!).
