Title: EGR valve
Post by: amba on 11 February 2008, 14:10:34

Gave the engine a gentle clean today and degrease with gunk.When started engine to check all was ok noticed bubbles coming from the joint of the EGR round valve body and the casting.Looks like a brass coloured plate with a black seal or gasket under it.Doesn,t appear to be any way of tightening this so was wondering if this should be a total airtight seal or would a small amount of gas escape as with eth traces of water left after the clean it seems to be letting gas?? out.
