My mate took his car to the garage & they said the EGR valve was knackered & needed a new one. The garage is quoting £160 for the EGR which includes fitting. Does this sound right, or is it worth replacing, or maybe worth going down the road of putting a cheater & blanking plate on?
He doesn't know anything about cars & is one of them people who's doesn't believe in having a car non standard.
Any help would be much appreciated.
You can remove the EGR valve on the CDTI but it needs to be mapped out. I'm not sure is VX do this, but it can be done with an after market remap.
Before having it replaced, has he had a go at cleaning it? It's a piece of piss to clean, and takes about 5 minutes to remove. It then just needs a good cleaning with some carb cleaner and a tooth brush.
