Where is the EGR valve located in the Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: EGR valve

In this video we can see where the EGR valve is located in the Volkswagen Golf and how to proceed in case we need to replace it. As shown, the valve is located in the rear right area of the engine, at about half height. To access it and subsequently replace it, we start by lifting the front side of the vehicle, then we remove the right wheel, the wheel arch, the engine cover and the air filter box. We continue by disconnecting the wheel hub, then we remove the driveshaft and proceed to disassemble the valve. To install the replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.
