Here http://www.mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w210-sponsored-bekkers-imports/278222-e220-diesel-disabled-my-egr-today.html Look at the mechs hand holding the egr valve:D bet it took him hours to get that off. Lynall

In my seemingly never ending quest to stop my car from making an awful smell I am going to replace the EGR valve. Is this something I could install myself or do I have to take the car to the MB dealer, again... 6, new injectors, 6, new glow plugs, new thermostat, MAF...... and the car still...

Is it a good idea to stop the EGR Valves? Will the engine run better/ longer/smoother with no hot/used gaz coming in? And how to block it? Than you. Olivier

Hi I Have W202 C200 Just Wanted To Know If My Car Has A Egr Valve And If So Where Is It Located Under The Hood?

Hi Still having problems with intermittant revving and kickdown problems. Can i test the egr valve? If so where is it? And will these problems show up on a snap on diagnostic, as i might be able to lay my hands on one? This is still driving me nuts. Thanks guys.

Hi all, when I'm driving along and lift off the exhaust slighty, I hear a funny noise, which I can only describe as sounding like a very distant dog bark. Is it more than likely my EGR Valve? Would it need changing? I had a problem with it a few months back and it sent the car into limp mode.

Hi i've been reading with great interest all the past threads on the EGR valve & that is a good idea to remove the pipe and block it with a screw or similar. Sounds good; i want to do this. I have a (W124) 1994 Multivalve E300D diesel. Where is the EGR VALVE? and is the pipe i...

First question is the supply of the darned thing.:) A brief search of the internet reveals that car-stuff.com out in the USA allegedly supply them for $119. Now this is just tooooo tempting as the unit costs some £270 over here! Has anyone ordered in from the USA? Is there a part number? Is the...

Hi there, I would really appreciate a bit of advice if possible. The car is a T reg C220 CDI estate. It's very flat, no real acceleration at all. I have changed the transducers at the front of the bonnet, also the maf. The car seems to hit a limiter or limp mode pretty often, which is literally...

My S320cdi is still giving me problems. The only thing I can see now is the EGR is sticking closed. The vacumn transducer is working, I connected a gauge then actuated it from DAS. The EGR rate does not change when told to open or close. Could this be the reason for power loss during...

I'm wondering if this operation is an easy DIY job, since I couldn't find any info and photo here around. :)

Ive been reading posts about blocking the egr valve to help with performance so decided to give it a try. I made an aluminium plate to completely block the exhaust entering the intake. Well I can report that it has done absolutely nothing to the performance. I have however been thinking...

I've just removed the air cleaner lid and flexi ose from my 24V 300D and noticed there is a butterfly valve in the body of the aluminium section that holds the EGR valve. Lots of sooty carbon came away from the butterfly plate, so i'm assuming this carbon is being sucked into the engine. Could...

The car is still surging on startup on cold mornings, as well as the occasional rough idle - all goes away when warm. So I thought I'd clean the EGR system out a bit. My car is a W210 with the OM606 TD engine (3.0 turbo diesel). The EGR system recirculates exhaust gasses to reduce emissions...

Seem to have been quite a few threads about this so decided to have a poke around the 320Cdi engine with help of pics. from Russian site linked earlier. Discover that I have an "exhaust gas heat exchanger" just downstream of the EGR valve, (which BTW takes the heat exchanger count up to 7...

Have notced a few failed turbo threads, andit seems to have something to do with the EGR allowing muck to clog the moving vanes/actuator - One person mentions running a C220 Cdi with EGR turned off, how can this be done?? BTW does the 270 Cdi have a variable vane turbo or a traditional...

What exactly is the function of the EGR valve? Many I have spoken to suggest blanking it off, but what consequence would this have?

Disabling the EGR. I have read articles on various forums about disabling the EGR primarily to minimise sooting up of the inlet manifold but I believe it can also give a slight increase to performance. Apart from the risk of increasing emissions in oxides of nitrogen, is there any other...

Hi I've blanked of the egr system on my 1996 c250d by using an alumimium plate. The performance of the car is however not what is used to be. Any ideas ? The car also seems to be not as economical as before.

Hi Can anyone tell me how to disable the EGR on a 98 E300TD. Just had the intake manifold off to change the glow plugs and it is in a terrible mess with oily gue. I am led to believe that the EGR causes this. There are two little pipes going to the EGr but i have read somewhere that you have...
