Has anyone replaced/cleaned the EGR valve on the 2.2 DTEC engine? It looks like an absolute c*nt of a job. Can it be done from the top or does the exhaust need to come off? Its a rusty mess that will end up with sheared bolts if I even look at them the wrong way!

Your exhaust manifold is at the front, the egr is at the rear. It’s not a job I would recommend doing, you are likely to do more damage than good. Besides these suffer with cracked bypass pipes, better to blank and map out for good, the car will run much better.
Yes the £200 cracked egr pipe I've done one before. I thought about mapping it out but its catch 22, I'll still need to remove it to put a blanking plate in
Ah right, just at the front before it goes onto the pipe that cracks?
Is this the correct blanking plate?

It will also go into limp mode even if it had a big hole in, so I do not have or list one. Prevents soot build up in intake manifold, and valve's, which will lower the power. This plate is Laser cut 1.5 304 Stainless Steel and has been rumbled to remove all the sharp edges.

Interesting, I had the engine out and decided to give the EGR a good clean. It wasn't blocked but still ended up removing quite a bit of soot and the EGR valve is nice and shiny now. Decided to replace the gaskets as well since it's way behind the motor.
That said, I'm in Northern Ireland and may be interested in this EGR delete, anyone know anyone who can map it out?
