How to replace the EGR valve on an Opel Astra

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: EGR valve

Let's see in this video how to disassemble and clean an EGR valve of an Opel Astra. We lift the bonnet and put it in safety, then, with a socket wrench, unscrew the locking pins of the battery, remove it from the engine compartment. We begin to disassemble the locking pins of the EGR valve as in the video. Once the piece has been disassembled from its seat, let's unscrew the screws on it with a screwdriver. We begin to clean the valve with the help of a product suitable for cleaning mechanical parts, we use a brush to facilitate operations. Once the piece has been refurbished, we put the pieces together. Finally we reassemble the EGR valve in the engine compartment, after having cleaned it from any traces of dirt and encrustations. - Socket wrench with sockets - Fixed screwdriver or with inserts - Brush.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
