As it seems to go with every ecotec engine sooner or later, EGR valves gone. Anyone know where i can get a gasket and blanking plate for it? And will it affect my engine by removing the whole system? Or give me any trouble come MOT time?
Thanks!

Not bothered fixing mine doesnt seem to make any differnce other than the ecu light once in a while?
I might just get a blanking plate too then not paying £200+ for sommet i dont really need or do i?

I can do the blanking plate for £7 inc P+P but you still need to clean the valve or replace it to get it working for the light to go off

you can make a blanking plate easy enough just use a piece of coke can and use the valve as a template to cut the shape out remembering the holes each side for the screws to go through when u put the plate in and refix the valve. i never got round to making one just drove with the valve disconnected for about 6 months

But you need to make sure the plates can clear the valve hence the middle one with the hole

£7s not bad for someone else's time and effort and you've got someone to moan at if they don't fit.

Can i just blank it off if the valves gone? ECU light only seems to come on once in a while when on the motorway with over 20 litres of fuel. Not done it since i got vaux to read the fault a few months back tho
