Anyone else heard of this? I'd love to get my $260 back.

 

About a year ago I got a recall notice that mentioned the EGR valve, but it was for a software upgrade. They'd fixed a bug in the code that was causing a "lean burn" or something to that effect. The extent of my engine knowledge is that I know how to change my own oil, so I just smiled and nodded.

I went and got the software upgrade for free, and my MPG went down after that for a while before coming back up.

 

I haven't heard of the recall. If it is an emissions recall wouldn't they be required to send letters out like they did for the computer update?

I also went through an EGR. Only cost me $120 since I did it over a friends house. If anyone is interested it is a realy easy proceedure to replace. Just two bolts and it is pretty easy to get to. I forget the torque of the bolts though.

 

Isn't this an ongoing thread?

I searched and found this one:

any one here have instructions on how to do this? i'd love to do this myself rather than paying the dealer

thanks!

 

The easiest way is to get the part (It should come with a gasket). Then look for something that looks like it on the manifold in front of the engine to the left looking at the engine from the front of the car.

Again, I forget the torque of the bolts so you will have to look it up elsewhere or post a thread here asking someone to look it up in one of their manuals.

 

thanks!

you recommend any online retailer to buy the part from?
