VAUXHALL ASTRA 1.3 CDTi EGR valve replacement.

This is a quick look at what is involved in replacing a EGR valve on a ASTRA. the EGR valve is notorious for failing due to soot. This will cause a fault code and an engine management light to illuminate. Two main bolts hold the EGR to the head and 3 hold the valve to the exhaust cooler? however the worst one is underneath the ERG and holds a hose clamp in place.
