mk 7 2.4 EGR replacement.

[rattybathead]

HIi all! Any help or advice welcome. EGR valve needs replaced, don't want to blank it due to new MOT rules and I'd rather keep it original anyway as I don't do huge mileages (camper van). My problem is could I get away with a cheap £50ish one or should I go for a more expensive one? It's the water cooled one so I only want to do this once!!! Anyone had experience with the cheaper ones? thanks.

I bought the modified 1 from tpuk and it has been on since before I bought Red, the guy hasn't come back yet complaining that the pile of junk mk7 tramps van I sold him has a broken egr and wants a20 year warranty repair doing

Joking aside though must be coming on 3 years now.

I try never to recommend places because batches and suppliers change etc so you can never tell from 1 day to the next.
But that's where I bought mine from.

It might look different but will fit fine

I concur with Mr loot. I too bought one of the afore mentioned EGRs and so far no probs on our van.

Ironically I've witnessed the expensive ones from the main dealer supplied and go wrong
Lucky dip maybe?
(The silver ones I mean, the black ones I haven't had any issue with, I did read that someone had a problem with the black 1 but foof knows )

Ps. Mr knobby is quite correct however generally cheap stuff from China etc turns and bites you in the ass.

Pps. Mr Airthies is also correct loot is concurrable.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, my van went into limp mode and the codes read that there is a fault with the MAF sensor and the EGR valve. I know that a fault with one could lead to a fault reading for the other but because I don't really know what I'm doing I'd rather get both replaced so I know the problem is definitely resolved (the van has also been battered by its previous owner). My problem is that I took it to a garage and they've told me I need to replace the propshaft, rocker cover, rear axel bushes, MAF and EGR (they're trustworthy!), and they will do all the labour for under £200, but I need to buy all the parts. I'll get second hand rocker cover and propshaft but I don't want to get a cheap MAF or EGR valve. I have guessed from having a look at the engine that I have a non-cooled EGR valve, but where do I buy from that's not too expensive but not crap? And I can't find the OEM numbers to confirm I am buying the correct parts without taking the parts out of the engine, is there any other way to know? Thanks in advance for any help!

I've had a black one from TPUK go bad...

It only had 4000 miles on it when it had to be changed again but it started giving problems at much less than that.

Luck of the draw I guess and to their credit, TPUK took it back and refunded me without a fuss.
