what he's saying in the write up in his description, looks like if you find a plate in there that has no hole ..then you need the one with a hole .
Thanks for looking.
This is made from Laser cut 1.5 Stainless Steel. It has a hole so as not to have the engine management light (EML), though it will rarely come on when fully block on any of the 1.8 Linx engines. So would rather restrict, not block, so there is still some EGR function. I do have it without a hole if you would rather, it is item number
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121106889703 but there is a slim chance the EML may come on when fitted. It has been rumbled to make it smooth and give it an abraded surface that also helps give a better seal, plus removes all sharp edges.
It gives a cleaner pick up at lower revs because it stops exhaust gas being recycled. If the EGR valve is playing up, then the improvement can be quit dramatic
Easy to fit, just loosen the 2 bolts, slip in the plate between the inlet manifold and the gasket, then tighten up the bolts.
This fits the Motorized operated EGR valve type pictured above in the header pictures only, so please check before buying as the years will cross over with the vacuum operated one's, which I do have listed as item number

Vacuum valve = Euro3 and is item number
