Started up my 150L this morning, noticed the EGR valve that goes in to the air intake got hot straight away.
Is my EGR stuffed??
I know people blank these items off but do I need to do anything with the butterfly thingy in the intake system.
Cheers

It should get hot at idle/low revs as there will be enough inlet manifold vacuum to operate the valve.
Just fixing open/removing the flap should stop it working, but it's belt and braces to blank the pipe at the exhaust manifold as the valve does stick eventually.
