What is the Exhaust Gas Recirculation/EGR Valve all about?

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve helps lower the car’s exhaust emissions (gases from the tailpipe). It recirculates the portion of the gasses coming out of the engine by putting in back into the intake manifold, where the engine can burn it again, thereby reducing the emissions.

The EGR valve is located in the engine compartment (underneath the hood). Most engines require exhaust gas recirculation to meet emissions standards. If the EGR valve has gone bad, the car will not pass emissions.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve

Keep in mind:

During the EGR valve replacement, your mechanic should also inspect the vacuum hoses connected to the EGR valve. If the vacuum hoses are cracked (leaking), the EGR valve will not function properly.

How it's done:

Scan the computer system in the car.
Check all vacuum related hoses to EGR valve.
Test EGR transducer.
Verify the EGR port is not plugged.
Remove and replace the EGR valve.
Clean the carbon deposit on EGR pintle.
Clear the trouble codes and test for proper operation of EGR valve.

Our recommendation:

It is a good idea to get an air induction (carbon cleaning) service performed every 50,000 miles. This will clean out any sludge or carbon build up in the air intake system. Always keep up with regular oil changes; it will help prevent sludge build up in the engine.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Exhaust Gas Recirculation/EGR Valve?

Check Engine light is on.
Possible loss of power.
Car will not run smoothly (shake, stumble, may stall).

How important is this service?

The EGR valve helps your vehicle recycle gas. The EGR valve is responsible for taking the gas that comes out of the engine, and sending it through the intake manifold, where the engine can utilize it again. Without the EGR valve your vehicle will not recycle and reuse any of its gas, which increases the emissions. Without the EGR, your car will not pass an emission inspection.

Chevrolet Cruze L4-1.4L Turbo - Car surges when air conditioning is on Inspection - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

It was my first time trying this service and I loved it! It was so easy and convenient. The air conditioning in my car wasn’t working and I had a feeling that I was leaking coolant. With work and getting ready for a wedding, it’s hard to find a day to take off to take my car to a shop and wait for them for half the day or who knows maybe all day. So I tried YourMechanic making the appointment was easy picked a time, Graham was my mechanic, texted me the day before to get more details about what was wrong with my car. I received a text telling me he was on his was and also a gps location of how close he was. Showed up on time, was very knowledgeable and told me what to expect, what he was going to do, told me he would need about an hour but ended up getting it done in 30mins. After that explained the problem with the air conditioning and with the coolant and what I needed to do to fix it. I would recommend this service over the dealers any time!

Chevrolet Cruze L4-1.8L - Check Engine Light is on - Plano, Texas

He notified me right away when there was a delay in parts ordered on another client, he also did a great job explaining the issue, how to correct it and his recommendations for potential future issues. So happy to know I only need to replace an $8 part and not a $400 part! Great job.
