When to Change the EGR Valve on a Fiat Grande Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: EGR valve

The function of the EGR valve is to reintroduce a portion of the exhaust gases back into the intake to allow for post-combustion and reduce emissions. It is evident that constant contact with exhaust gases, often contaminated by oil vapours and unburned diesel, causes it to clog and eventually seize. Before considering replacement, you can attempt a thorough cleaning of the valve body, ensuring that all deposits are removed and checking that the spring-operated opening and closing mechanism is completely free.
