Where is the EGR valve located in the Opel Astra?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: EGR valve

In this video, we can see where the EGR valve is located in the Opel Astra and how to proceed in case we need to remove it. As shown, the valve in question is positioned on the left side of the engine, to our right when looking at the vehicle from the front. To remove it, we first open the hood and wait for the engine to cool completely, then we remove the upper plastic cover and, using a socket wrench, we unscrew both the fastening bolts of the manifold and those of the valve itself. Once this is done, we separate the valve from the engine and follow the reverse procedure to install the replacement if necessary.
