Karlos76 · 21st October 2012, 19:31

Could be ... best way to tell is to clean it up and then see if it re-appears!

Thanks for the guide - it helped me remove the EGR valve on my 2007 CR-V earlier today. Clearance was a nightmare for the bottom two nuts but eventually shifted them and got the thing out - wasn't as dirty as I expected with 116k miles.

Regarding the EGR operation itself - it looks like mine has a leak and won't hold vacuum....

Hi,

I have slight "chugging" when the engine is sat at around 1500 RPM in higher gears, maybe 4,5 &6. Nothing major but this seems similar to your issues? What do you guys think and would i benefit from cleaining??

Really worth a go ... nice cheap option and could sort that out for you.

Give it a go and let us know how you get on Scotty

ok, well i will order the kit tomorrow and do my best, i'm not an "under bonnet" person but it has been made to seem so simple on this mega forum so why not, just fingers crossed i get it right

maybe this will give me the confidence to do my own oil change etc???

I've just done this on my 2006 ex with 52,000. I'm glad it's now done and clean but to be honest it wasn't that bad at all.

In case anyone is thinking if doing it but not very confident it is really easy.

I managed to drop one of the bolts underneath, haha. Good job I have a magnet. I also forgot to connect the little hose when I refitted it, so It made the light come on. Luckily I had a OBD11

Thanks

I really want to do this but would appreciate a hand if anyone in the southampton or alternatively leicestershire area would be available to help me out

Karlos76 · 1st November 2012, 13:51

Honestly Tom it is dead simple ... take the rocker cover off and 6 bolts on the egr .... scoop crap out ... new gaskets on then put it all back on - simples

tom619 · 1st November 2012, 14:00

Im sure it is as simple as it reads but I'm sure in this case I'd need to be shown by someone else who's done it before incase I f*** it up

Trust me ... I am good at upping the fecks .... on a scale of 1 - 10 where 10 is a complete engine rebuilt and one is unlocking the car ... its a 1

Now the grounding kit is even easier ... must have been if I could do a 'how 2' on it!

It's idiot proof ... as I have prooven

tom619 · 2nd November 2012, 10:04

I wish was as confident in my ability as you are! Seriously I can't doing anything except topping up oil and screenwash.

Karlos76 · 2nd November 2012, 19:56

Ok ... got a challenge for you tomorrow Tom

Try and take the rockercover off - 4 little nuts - then pop it back on again

If you can do that ... then that is part 1!

tom619 · 5th November 2012, 12:09

By rockercover do you mean the plastic engine cover??

james-lew · 6th November 2012, 22:48
