2.2 diesel 2007. EGR Removal

[Hondawanda]

Hi, folks.  Adding to the To Do List on my 2.2 with 147k on it.

I've a terrible worksheet to get thru on this.

Currently looking at removing the EGR valve.  I've managed to get a small peek and it's absolutely caked.  Just amatter of time before a code appears.

Slight hesitation from stationary or low speed.  It goes like a rocket, but seems EGR is the problem.

Any advice on removal please?

 

Thanks.

If you can remove it and clean it then maybe consider using a blanking plate (make sure you get one with small hole in the middle)

You can clean the EGR in a solution and refit it but will have to ensure the engine is running at higher revs to keep it clear
