HELP- How to replace egr valves and cooler on volvo ved 12 2007-

[Shaggy76]

Go into California, get tagged for a EPA check, and you're screwed. Best to avoid Califonia if you do a EGR delete.

Im not very mechanically inclined, can someone tell me where i can go to get an EGR delete?? Im pretty sure the dealers wont do it, and i dont wanna just go to any ol' shop. Ive went through EGR's left and right the past 2 years.....

here's how to do it: on the D12, the EGR gases come across the top of the valve cover via a metal tube that then transitions into a silicone one. we placed a metal plug into the metal tube and welded it shut by where the 2 tubes connect. basically a piece of flat sheet about 3in square, welded onto the tube to close the opening, and then ground down around the edges to make it smooth. the EGR's will still function (opening and closing) but no gasses will be flowing over them and back into your engine. I just replaced my 1st EGR valve since doing this (it's been 19 months now) and the second one is still in there as well....hoping to get 2 years out of it!!

Can I block only 1 EGR ?

[sbaumann14]

no, both EGR valves will be shut off. it sounds like you have one that's not working. you will have to replace that one first before you do it this way or the code will still derate the motor. once it's blocked off, you'll not be replacing the egr's for a looooooooong time!
