V6 TDi EGR valve ... how to remove

Featured Replies

Thought I'd try and remove my EGR valve and give it a clear out. Nothing wrong with it, as far as I know, but the car has done 117K and I'm gradually doing jobs around the car and this is next on the list.

I know if it ain't broke don't fix it but I'm a mad tinkerer :rolleyes:

Having removed the engine cover to remove this thing it looks like the most awkward PITA to remove :(. Two allen bolts, on top, easy to get to but the hex nuts underneath seem completely inaccessible.

Has anybody here done it themselves and have any tips, know of a walkthrough anywhere on the net or suggest tools to get to the hex bolts (the pipe to the exhaust doesn't look any easier to remove) ?
