EGR Valve

[Leon R]

With my inspection being due at the end of January, I finally purchased the CHEAPEST EGR valve I could find on eBay:

It was $40 shipped and did not come with a gasket (no big deal, as my old gasket was fine). For the first time in a year my CE light was off! I now have the sticker, so I think I will now block it off until the next year... I just might have to unplug the CE light and occasionally scan my codes with my Ultra Gaude

BTW, there was no notisable change in fuel consumption...

I'm buying one asap!

Well, this worked for almost a month… After a month of driving without any problems, I now have code code P1404 - EGR Valve Closed Pintle Position. I think the new cheapo valve might not be all that great. But I got the inspection sticker, so it did its job .

Resetting it lasted 2-3 days, so it wasn’t coming immediately back (like was before with P0404 code).

As soon as it gets a warmer, I am installing the old valve with a block off gasket. Or I might just make a block off plate, until the next year’s inspection… So this will be my temporary EGR valve, installed just for inspection.
