Another tale of woe here



Order your cheater here

Get the blanking plate from Vauxhall or phone Autovaux and get it delivered.
You need a 13mm spanner or socket.
Remove the EGR valve, mount EGR valve using 1 of the bolts (sandwiching the plate) and turn the valve 90 degrees so the mechanism can still operate.

Like so...

Once you get the cheater get a mate to help if you are not confident. 10 minute job.
Instructions


What would happen if the EGR valve was fitted directly over the blanking plate? Does the valve try to plunge down into the plate, what effect will this have?

The bottom of the valve is not flat. The plunger bit has a conical tip that sticks out by a few mm.
