So today I decided to remove<script id="gpt-impl-0.9037468483636555" src="https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/gpt/pubads_impl_110.js" abp="887"></script> the egr valve on my 2011 1.7 cdti astra.
As far as I know, its the first time its been done and there's nearly 90,000 miles on the clock.
I decided to take photos to show the removal and cleaning stages, here goes.
1 /Locate the egr valve, here it is beside the ecu unit and the battery.
2/ Remove the negative terminal from your battery with a 10mm spanner or socket.
