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.
There are several signs that might indicate a failing EGR valve:
If your vehicle has a faulty EGR valve, it might still be safe to drive for a short period, especially if the issue doesn't significantly impact performance or safety. However, driving with a malfunctioning EGR valve can potentially affect your vehicle's emissions, performance, and fuel efficiency over the long run.
While short-term driving may not pose immediate safety risks, it's essential to address EGR valve issues promptly to prevent further damage to your vehicle and ensure optimal performance and emissions compliance.

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve recirculates a portion of an engine's exhaust gases back into the combustion chamber. This process reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by lowering combustion temperatures and helps improve fuel efficiency.
Signs of a failing EGR valve include the check engine light turning on, rough idling, reduced engine performance, increased emissions, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Yes, a malfunctioning EGR valve can lead to increased emissions, potentially causing your vehicle to fail emissions tests.
Sometimes, carbon buildup can cause EGR valve problems. Cleaning the valve might help in cases of minor issues, but severe malfunctions often require replacement.
It might be safe for a short period, but prolonged driving with a faulty EGR valve can impact engine performance and emissions. It's best to address the issue promptly.
EGR valve replacement frequency varies. It's best to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule or consult a mechanic if you suspect EGR valve issues.
At Sunrise Service and MOT Centre, we will be able to advise you on when you might need an EGR valve replacement.
