EGR Valve Replacements in Dorset

Clogged or faulty exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves? Book a service with our experts today!

EGR valves can often start sticking due to a build-up of carbon in the system, which could eventually lead to the system becoming completely blocked. Our mechanics are able to check, clean, and even replace your EGR valves with efficiency and precision.

An EGR valve is a component in many internal combustion engines that works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber.

This process reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by lowering the combustion temperature and helps improve fuel efficiency. The valve controls the flow of exhaust gas into the engine, playing a crucial role in emissions control and engine performance.

It is common for EGR systems and valves to stop working efficiently as carbon deposits build up throughout the system, blocking the passages and stopping the exhaust gases from recirculating.

If you think your EGR valve is blocked, book an appointment at our Blanford car garage by calling 01258 459 798.
