front of the motor

pn VPT21001173RM they are both same so one part number works for both egr's i would suggest changing the clamp as well.

Thanks. Will do. Found egr on sale at north carolina volvo for $550 if you need any
-
Also recommend you change the pipe coming off the egr valve..
Every time I've had a egr valve replaced with in 4 weeks I've had that pipe blow out -
Shouldnt complain....this one lasted 4 years. A "friend" of mine found out that if you take an Egr valve and gut it, you find out some very interesting things.
For example....my "friend" took out the plunger valve that opens and closes the port into the motor, and cut the stem off. He then welded the valve closed. The egr will still actuate the motor, which turns the sensor to tell the computer thats its opening and closing, but no gasses get passed back into the motor.
Of course all this is illegal for use on trucks going into California, but legal elsewhere since the new smog laws arent in effect anwhere else.Volvo8873 and RollingRecaps Thank this. -
Sorry but that fix is ILLEGAL everywhere.

Not that i would ever use it on a vehicle driven on the road. Nor would i suggest it to people to do, I merely said my friend chose to do that on his. Shame on him
And yes, you are correct....this sort of fix that saves my friend thousands of dollers, and makes his equiptment more efficient is illegal to do. My badLast edited: Mar 20, 2017

If someone wants to unplug or bypass it its up to them as long as they understand what can happen of they get caught -
