In this guide, we will see step-by-step instructions on how to disassemble and replace the EGR valve of the Citroen C3 1.4 HDi. First, let's open the hood of the vehicle and remove the air intake hose; then we remove the entire air filter box, thus accessing the EGR valve, as shown in the video. At this point, we disconnect the electrical connector of the valve by unscrewing the two screws to remove it; we clean it or replace it with a new original one, securing it and connecting it.
