Hi everyone,
I'm part way through removing my driver-side EGR valve. I've kind of got stuck. I had read online that with a flex head 8mm spanner and a universal joint socket to remove the torx bolts this job wasn't too tricky. However, I just can't seem to get to the two bolts underneath the EGR valve. I can reach them with my fingers and get the spanner on them, but the valve itself is blocking me from turning the spanner.
Has anyone done this job themselves? Can I remove any of the stuff around EGR valve to make it easier to access? I'm thinking the fuse box and the wiring that runs next to the valve. I have loosened it all but it's still just getting in the way.
I have to pick my son up from nursery at 4pm, help!
here are some photos of where I currently am.
Any advice or moral support would be really appreciated! Thanks, Dave
PS having very recently replaced my passenger-side EGR valve at an indie garage for about 300 quid I'm trying to not have to do it with this one.
