    I managed to do this job by removing only the first part of the front of the vehicle. Then removing the intercooler. Tight to get in, but dooable with 1/4" drive set and various adapters. I removed the throttle body first, which makes the bolts for the corrugated pipe more accessible. Someone else suggested removing the dipstick tube, which I couldn't do as bolt rusted out. Still managed to do the job. Once I had the ERG valve out, I removed the top cover, slid off the intermediate gear, which allowed manual opening of the valve - to facilitate cleaning it properly. Get a gasket set! Van behaving much better now!

    Great video. Thank you, I used this to help me replace my starting motor (and thought I'd clean the EGR valve while I was at it).

    Fair play to you for getting stuck in iv just bought one of these vans thinking It was the 1.9 engine without knowing it was the 2.0 that needed a starter motor change 😢🤣

    thanks for this video, i also have problems with the EGR valve. The video is clear and calm, it helped me a lot.

    My van 07 could not go over 2500 revs, I manageged to clean the very clogged EGR. After putting everything back the van struggled to turn on and also showed engine light. I panicked thinking I messed it up. But after persistent tries it turned on, I noticed it has more power and revs work normally. Thanks to your video.

    Firstly, well done to Lucy. What a very capable young lady. Then, thank you for such a comprehensive guide. I wish someone would do the same for my Fiat Ducato x250 3 litre 2008 van/moho as although the EGR is on the top/rear top of the engine, the bolts are an absolute pig to get at. Would need Lucy's hands to get in there, lol. I'm considering putting in a blanking plate at the bottom of the "kinky pipe" effectively removing the EGR from the system. Well done, I see you fixed yours with new injectors. Not sure if you did them yourselves as they can be a nightmare to remove, due to being stuck in with corrosion. Cheers, Chris.

    Thanks for the upload was very helpful, just had to change the alternator, and stripped and cleaned the EGR at the same time. A couple of points that i found gave better access...At

    Thx guys. Was off bank holiday Monday so decided to replace the egret valve on our traffic. Was an engine light on a d mechanic said it was egr valve but couldn't do it for couple of weeks. Well said I, it cant be that hard! Started at 9.30 and had it all back together by 2.30. Including tea breaks😉. Your tutorial was a lifesaver. Hope you're both well. Thumbs up.👍👍

    My Vauxhall 2.0 Movano was in limp mode and had an ERG unit with some grey sludge in it - erg cooler had a tiny leak. Had to leave it cooler plugged into a garden hose for 30 mins to get a tiny drop of water in cooler. If buying a cooler for older type van, be very careful as there are 2 types - the water pipe on left of cooler can be in 2 positions - pointing to front of van and to rear. Get the correct one :)

    Just took out and cleaned the EGR valve in my 2004 Renault Trafic. Didn't need to take the front off at all, so much easier and the injectors are well hidden from any water leaks too. You're right the 1.9 is an easier engine.

    The plug dangling is for external temp gauge which when connected shows outside temp on display in cab

    Great video, starting this on a Renault Master 2010.. Even more difficult because the EGR is water cooled from the Rad
