Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Disconnect the EGR valve electrical connector.
  2. Disconnect the exhaust manifold-to-EGR valve tube fitting from the EGR valve.
    • To install, tighten to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).
  3. Remove the 2 bolts and the EGR valve.
    • Discard the gasket.
    • To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
  4. Clean the mating surfaces of any residual gasket material.
    NOTE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system module gasket.
    NOTE: If there is no residual gasket material present, metal surface prep can be used to clean and prepare the surfaces.
  5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
    • Install a new EGR valve gasket.
