Hi All,

Has anyone got any info on these? My egr needs replacing on the astra but as a temporary messure I'm thinking of blanking it. I had one previous but never used it and gave it shaunmods

Yeah i've just spotted them for £5.90 delivered. seems like a good price tbh.

I take it you put the gasket then blanking plate and put the egr tied up somewhere in the engine bay?

You can also get the plate from vauxhall for a C14SEL (Foreign x14xe), dont know how much wonga it is though.

I've always been told/believed it is better to put it on at 90 degrees to the factory position so it is just held on with one bolt.

EML will only come on when you slow down from sitting at a constant rev/speed. Depending on the car it stays on or just comes on for a couple of seconds.

It does solve the running problems though.

Be reet. You will know it has a fault when it makes funny noises or stops working.

Because its a part for a C14SEL, Not many vauxhall people will know that.
