Disassembly and cleaning of the EGR valve on Opel Astra G.

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Valve

Raise the hood and secure it. Look at the area to your right and disconnect the connector placed before the white tank: this is the connector for the EGR valve. You can disassemble it using a torx t45 wrench and unscrewing the two bolts as shown in the video. If you have to clean this valve, you should open it by letting current flow to you (this is done in the video) to clean it better with a decarbonising spray and a wire brush. If, on the other hand, you need to replace it, all you have to do is proceed backwards for assembly. As you can see, this is a very simple operation.

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.
