Faulty EGR valve: how to recognise it

The EGR valve can get clogged with soot over time. Here are typical signs and what you can do about it.

Faulty EGR valve: symptoms
01

Typical symptoms

Typical symptoms include loss of power, jerking, rough idle, black smoke, higher fuel consumption and a check engine light with fault codes for exhaust gas recirculation. Not every symptom automatically means an EGR problem.

02

Why the valve clogs

The exhaust contains soot and oil mist. They deposit in the EGR valve and the line. The valve can then stick and no longer open or close cleanly.

03

Clean or replace?

If the valve is only sooted, cleaning can often help. If it is mechanically or electrically defective, it must be replaced. The inspection on the vehicle shows which.

04

How we proceed

We read the stored fault codes, check the EGR system and clean it when that makes sense. Send us make, model, year and the symptoms on WhatsApp. We only give prices on request.

  • I had my DPF cleaned and was very satisfied. The staff are extremely professional and use state-of-the-art equipment. No other company in Alanya works as cleanly and carefully. I can recommend them without reservation 🙏

  • They cleaned the diesel particulate filter of my Peugeot 3008 and also helped me with other problems. Manfred and his friend Erden are very kind and helpful. Thank you both! Greetings from Bosnia
