EGR / Anti Shudder Valve
I noticed after my first long journey that there was a strange noise coming from the engine bay Another post I read described the sound perfectly, 'sounds like a thud of a subwoofer in the cab of the car' and that was exactly it. I know a lot of you guys helped me in resolving or should I say accepting this noise as it turned out that it was the standard noise of the ERG Valve operating, however, after seeing the state of the EGR valve on the car I had my mind set on either cleaning the valve or buying a new one.
After looking at the prices of new EGR valves I decided agains a new one and got a second hand one from Lithuania and cleaned this up over a few nights, a lot of carburettor cleaner and elbow grease got the EGR valve looking like new ready to be fitted. At this I figured it was time to book the car in again at WOM Automotive to have the few bits done on the car.
