When your car suddenly starts to jerk and lose power, it may be due to a clogged EGR valve, which requires a cleaning treatment. The video shows exactly how to proceed with its removal and cleaning.

It is important to note that the first part also shows other maintenance tasks common to the vehicle in the video, which is an Opel 1.3 engine, and the engine of our interest.

After rinsing the valve with just water following the cleaning cycle, you will notice that it is free of deposits and residues.
