Hi all and thank's for your interest in my post,

I own a Skoda Superb Elegance 1.9 TDi PD 130 BPH, registered July 2005, 79 000 miles. I wonder if you guys can help. I have some oil leak/spray under/around the Integrated EGR/ASV valve(just under the mushroom like top) and how serious it is.The engine seems to run normal. Do I need to take it to a garage or I could change/clean it myself? Skoda garage in Somerset wants £270 to replace it inc part and labour.

Many thanks in advance!!

Can anybody help at all? I am not sure if it is oil I'm pretty sure is just after burn residue. Does this mean I need to replace the valve?

Thanks!

Thats perfectly normal, remember there is pressure inside the manifold and the valve, and any oil will find a way out, Normally the valve is TOTTALLY greased in,
