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.

Porsche Boxster H6-2.9L - Oil Change - Little Silver, New Jersey
Alex did a fantastic job with my vehicle. He was courteous, friendly, professional and clean. German sports cars can be complicated, but Alex took his time to explain the job and all his steps, which made me feel confident with his abilities. He was thorough with his assessment of the vehicle and gave me some valuable advice. This is someone I trust.

Porsche Boxster H6-2.7L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Dallas, Texas
Alex is an amazing mechanic and a gentleman. He pays attention to customers concerns and is highly competent and knowledgeable as a mechanic. Besides that he is just a really respectful, polite person and will not rush or ignore you as a customer. I believe he goes beyond and does more than other mechanics do and the fact he is qualified to examine and service luxury and high performance cars makes a difference too. When he did a pre-vehicle inspection for me on a Porsche the appointment went smooth and it was hard to tell it was the first time we ever met, that is how a experience should be in this industry but frequently is not. Alex does not sugar coat mechanical issues either. He is honest, upfront, and states the facts whether you as a customer may or may not like the facts, and truly the automotive industry needs that. I think it is cool that he can meet you at your house or even place of business to service your car and do any repairs needed versus having to go to a mechanic shop and sit and wait. I would highly recommend Alex to anybody and everybody, he deserves your business and customers deserve his mechanical excellence in skill and honesty this gentleman displays.

Porsche Boxster H6-3.2L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Jacksonville, Florida
Brian was right on schedule and performed a presale inspection for me. It was comprehensive and he communicated the condition of the vehicle giving me the knowledge to take the correct next steps. As I am not in the same state as the vehicle under consideration Brian’s service was a reassuring bargain vs purchasing a vehicle sight unseen.
