How to remove the EGR valve on BMW X3? Lift the hood and secure it. Then, use a screwdriver to remove the locking pins of the ventilation pipe and take off the engine soundproofing panel. Start unscrewing the bolts of the EGR valve (if you encounter issues: lift the car with a jack and remove the part from underneath).

Once the part is detached from its seat, unscrew the screws on it using a screwdriver. Begin cleaning the valve with a suitable product for cleaning mechanical parts; use a brush to assist in the process.

Reassemble everything after cleaning.
