where can i buy a new or good EGR valve?
local auto parts stores want upwards to $400!!!

any help?

 

Keep scouring for someone doing emissions removal. I threw my EGR valve in the garbage when I ripped my emissions out 3 years ago.

 

I'm in the process of emissions removal right now. PM me and we'll talk

 

need one to pass smog

PM me

 

I think I have a way to test the valve, but I don't have a vacuum gauge to check how much vacuum I'm applying. I will try to test it within the next couple days.

 

any one else have an EGR valve ?

 

You don't need an EGR to pass emissions. It doesn't do a whole lot on rotaries. Get rid of it.

 

you do here in cali...

 

Do you need one i Kali because they test to see the EGR specificaly is working? Or because of the check to make sure it is actually there on the engine? If its just an "eyeball" check, they you should be fine if it isn't working.

 

i have one that came off a 88 non turbo pm me if interested

 

No I do need one to pass emissions, and i do want it to function, because it will increase fuel mileage, which my car is suffering

 

Well, a new one will cost you 400 or so bucks, period. So you will have to find a working used one.
That said, I really don't think they do much. S5's don't even have one.... Even if they do have a slight effect on emissions, I really doubt they do much for fuel economy.

 

I tested mine tonight as best I could. I did it two ways, the first by using a pump I have that draws from one end (acting as a siphon), which pulled the valve open, but since the pump itself holds vacuum very poorly it released the valve. The next test I just pushed the valve down and blocked the vacuum tube and left it like that for 15 minutes, over which time it didn't budge.

So, $30 shipped.

 

that looks slightly different, what year type is your car?

 

that one looks like an s4 turbo. The turbos have theres mounted sideways. So the little heat sheild thingy will be on the bottom.

They are NOT interchagable. Ask me how I know.

 

+1

 

Well, it's technically not off my car, I had a spare and it was easier to use this one. However, it sounds like they ^^^ are correct that it's the same as the one currently ON my car ('87 TII).

Anyone else want it?

 

i have one off my 87 s4 n/a...

 

how much $, and once again, is it functional

 

This is why I choose NOT to smog. Heh.

 

Oh, you're right sorry.

And if your mileage is that bad, a miracle EGR valve won't help at all. Sounds like you have other issues to sort out.
