Cost to eliminate the EGR valve of the Opel Astra
Years 2004-2010

Answer

The EGR valve has the function of introducing a part of the exhaust gases back into the intake to reduce emissions: the constant contact with the exhaust gases often contaminated by oil vapors and unburned diesel oil causes them to become clogged, leaving it open and continuing to let exhaust gases pass through the intake to the detriment of engine performance; cleaning or replacing it is not the definitive solution as it will again tend to clog up; a solution could be to completely exclude it from the engine management by performing a remapping of the control unit at a cost of about 150.00 euros.
