It is safer to use the tool. The drill bits can be tilted a bit if you are uncareful. The tool doesn't cost much on eBay.8mm drill bit from memory will do instead of the pins

Hi and thanks for this. I changed the EGR valve 3 years ago and didn´t know this was the cause of the hiccups at low revs and hesitation when re-starting after a stop. The car behaved right despite of that, just some problems engaging the gear, probably a faulty shift lever mechanism, I´ll have a look some day as I justus this car once a week or so.I ended up buying a Pierburg EGR valve on Amazon. They have just started up in Sweden and have free delivery and great price. I replaced the EGR and the car runs beautifully. So, to sum up, my problems was caused by two things:
1. The cambelt was out of timing, probably slipped a gear
2. I had the wrong EGR valve even if it was new. I replaced it with a genuine Pierburg and all problems are gone.
