EGR valve replacement
Price includes valve and labour. Before fitting a new valve the intake manifold is cleaned — otherwise the new one will foul quickly.

When an EGR valve needs replacing
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve routes part of the exhaust back into the intake manifold, lowering combustion temperatures and reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Over time exhaust soot and oil residue accumulate inside the valve, sticking it either open or closed. A stuck EGR causes: rough running, power loss, black smoke, rising fuel consumption and an engine warning with codes P0401–P0403 (EGR flow fault). Elevated NOx values are a typical MOT fail. Sticking becomes common after around 100 000 km.
How an EGR valve is replaced
The EGR valve sits between the intake and exhaust manifolds. Intake pipes and sometimes the whole intake manifold must be removed for access. Electrical connectors are unplugged, mounting bolts undone and the old valve is removed. The soot layer accumulated in the intake manifold is usually thick — it's cleaned mechanically and with a chemical solvent, so the new valve doesn't immediately dirty up. The new valve is fitted with a new gasket. If a cleaned old valve is being reused, its operation is first tested with compressed air and electrical input. After installation the diagnostic tool runs an EGR adaptation so the engine ECU learns the new valve's values. The test drive confirms the valve's operation at different loads.

Why does an EGR valve get stuck?
EGR sticking almost always comes from short-trip city driving and oil consumption. Short journeys never let the engine warm up properly, and cold exhaust leaves more soot on the valve. If the engine also consumes oil, a sticky oil residue forms on top of the soot and glues the valve shut. Another cause is a clogged DPF or catalyst, which raises exhaust back-pressure and forces more soot through the EGR. Regular motorway drives and oil changes significantly slow soot accumulation.
