    Hey guys what do you think about "the ugly fix"? To save me from fixing the egr valve and spending $1000+ to fix it? Any info will help.

    Doesn’t work anyway. Causes other issues later on.

    And my understanding is, your EGR has to be working correctly in the first place before using the ugly fix....

    The valve is working correctly, but I've heard that they are expensive to fix. So if I can take that out with the ugly fix that would be great. What issues does it cost?

    The egr noise went away.... in ran like a 12.7, or at least sounded like it!

    I thought this thread would be closed by now...
