discovered my EGR valve was making a weird hum noise today just behind the speedo on the dash. ive pulled the pipe off and it goes put it on and it comes back ,the car is running normal does this need to urgently fixed or can i live with the hum for another month only i dont fancy another £200 bill after the £850 ive just spent on the head .cam and water pump :(

be*

This will be the vacuum box not the egr valve

Pm "devontopia" he had one for sale not sure if he still has it..

If u have a faulty egr valve i have 1 in the for sale section for £30 but from your description sounds like the buzz/humm/mooing noise when u turn the car off which points to the vacuum box (top left of engine bay as u look at it with loads of vacuum pipes coming out )

firstly lol apologise for the sloppy tiltle youve got to love the iphone, secondly does im a novice show that bad .ha ha and yer its the silver circle thing just above the turbo been told i can get agr vavle?? to bypass it if i did this would it affect its realabilty ? i take it you dont actually need an EGR valve as it just chucks dirty air back threw it the system .:S

removing the egr valve would put the engine management light on and probs wouldnt really benefit you without a remap....

_{ive remapped so}

_{ive remapped do you rekon its worth doing then ? so id have to live with the management light on witch is no biggy , but what about long term would it cause any problems ?}

does it need fixing urgently ?

U only have to map an egr delete on the later mk1 vrs with blt engine not the earlier with asz engine..

I would be making sure it was def. The egr valve 1st..

U could replace it with another egr valve (which i have £30 give me a pm )...

... or u can replace it with an egr delete + block off the egr vacuum pipes
