Your car's EGR valve helps reduce pollutant emissions. If it becomes too clogged, it will no longer perform this function, and your pollutant emissions will increase. It's easy to spot a malfunction: if you see black smoke coming from the exhaust, it's time to clean your EGR valve.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EGR valve helps reduce your pollutant gas emissions. To do this, it recovers intake manifold<\/strong> the exhaust gases and cools them to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx<\/strong>) emissions. It operates mainly at low revs, when the car emits the most NOx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the EGR valve is subject to clogging<\/strong>. Particles and soot accumulate. The resulting scale blocks the damper and prevents it from operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blocked or out-of-order EGR valve can damage other parts of your engine, notably the injectors, which can in turn become clogged. The intake system may also be damaged. So it's vital to intervene before the problem gets any worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing the EGR valve is sometimes essential, but cleaning it often solves the problem. In fact, cleaning your EGR valve is part of regular maintenance, helping to extend its life and prevent breakdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
