As the Title says I am not sure how to get at the EGR valve. I am getting a code 16, and have read all of the fixes. I am planning on doing the 12 volt relay fix. But I want to locate the EGR and make sure it is not stuck open.

Any help would be appreciated!

You gotta move the intakes out of the way, and then remove the y-pipe. Its not too bad but getting the y-pipe out is kind of a pain in the ***.

 

I've pulled the intake out before, but I have not taken the y-pipe out before. How do I go about pulling that out? (I like to have a good idea of what I'm doing before I do it)

Thanks!

 

Remove the plastic intake pipes, remove the aluminu rear turbo intake tube(from underneath the car at rear of turbos with 10mm socket/small extension/ and swivel is best). Once it is removed there are 4 10mm headed nuts holding the ypipe on, remove it and the egr is easily accessable. If you still have the airpump it will make it slightly more difficult.

 

i remove my airpump every time i need to remove the y-pipe. it takes 3 minutes and saves a lot of headache... just a suggestion
