The S H E car

Yes, it drives without problems so in that aspect it is not urgent but it is soon time for car inspection and they will fail the car due to the engine lamp so I better do this now.
A new valve is on order now. Worth noting that early AUAs do not have the same EGR valve as later cars including BBY cars.
A little followup on this EGR thing.
The delivery of a new EGR valve has been taking a long time. It finally arrived (from supplier no 2) just the other day.
I started the work yesterday, a lot of things are physically in the way and needs to be removed to get access to remove the EGR pipe.
Here is the work in the assembly phase with the new valve in sight.

The EGR valve change is now finalised since a few days.
I also took the opportunity to change the throttle body for a more low mileage one I had in my shed.
I was hoping these two things would improve the slight jerkyness I experience when coasting at almost zero torque and switching between pos and neg low torque.
But it gave not much change in that sense unfortunately.
But the EGR fault code is gone and that was the main target with the whole exercise. 🙂
 
This Tuesday SHE was in for the inspection (MOT) and was approved.
Before that I had attended to the front brakes which had been slightly binding and also collected some rust while sittning unused for some wet summer weeks.
New pads and discs (ATE), changed calipers (second hand from a 2018 VW Up!) and also new splash plates, or what they are called (Febi)
