Where is the EGR Valve Located in the Toyota RAV4?

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 3, Xa30 - Years 2006-2013
Part: EGR valve

In this video, you can see where the EGR valve is located in the Toyota RAV4 and how to proceed if you need to remove it, for example, for a complete cleaning or to replace it directly. As shown, it is located at the upper front area of the engine and can be accessed by following the crosswise pipe to the left. It is held by 2 pairs of bolts and nuts, both of which can be unscrewed with a 12mm socket spanner. Once removed and the sensor connector has been disconnected, you can remove the valve from the engine, clean it, and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
