kindwarf Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 With reference to funny noise as mentioned in my previouse topic, a popping noise coming back through the air intake, could it be the EGR valve stuck open and exaust gas pumping back into the air intake, I think there is a electronic device with wires, on the pipes coming from the outlet manifold, any help would be appreciated from you experts out there.

JimAttrill Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Could be. Get rid of the EGR like all sensible people. Then it can't cause problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Mills Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi There, I disabled the EGR valve by putting a tin shim between the EGR valves output and the inlet pipe. The 2 bolts on this coupling come apart quite easily. I used the gasket in there to draw around and cut a tin shim withiut the big hole, just the 2 small ones for the bolts. This fitted and the EGR is stuffed. Even if it sticks full open it cannot do any more harm. Its just a 15 minute job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
