paul.h Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Welcome to the forum. It is worth checking the actuator pipe to the egr valve in case it has a hole or split. If this is ok and the egr valve is not passing when closed, you may be able to just disconnect this pipe and plug it, instead of going to the bother of a blanking plate. The other thing to try is to remove the egr valve and clean it and make sure it moves by applying suction to its actuator. I do not know where a plate could be bought, but if you had some metal then it may not be difficult to make one but it would need to be thicker than a tin can so it stands a vacuum. Quote
