egr valve

[katelyndon]

hi, I have a 2007 transit, 2.4tdci.  I have been told I need a new egr valve.  would I need a water cooled one on none water cooled and any idea on price. I looked on eBay and there are all sorts and all prices.  help please

you could have either cooled or non cooled, you need to have a look for the coolant pipes if it had any

thanks. its water cooled, going to take it off and try cleaning it, then buy a new one if it doesn't seem any better

wouldnt bother cleaning it myself, by the time youve got it off, got covered in coolant, cursed because the bolts are a pain to get to, then curse because there tight. you get my drift by now lol

fro experience its quite oftenthe electrical part that causes the egr to jam up, or water ingress in connector causing corrosion.

you could be lucky and its just carboned up.

good luck

I was told it was egr valve as on tick over it sometimes has a bit of a jump but apart from that its ok

coukd be egr, or injector, but your egr cleaning worth a go then first.
