Hi mate,

The exhaust gases are passed back through a approx 10-12 mm metal pipe from the exhaust maniforld back to inlet manifold.

They can give trouble on any car.

Are you having problems with the running of your vehicle or something?

I have had problems on 2 occasions with these valves. What I cant get my head around is this.We fit air cleaners to keep the inlet air clean. Then we pump dirty oily exhaust gas back into the engine. Where is the logic.

its done to keep emissions down. not applicable on a diesel , only visible smoke so that's why many disconnect them on diesel motors.

standard jimny - for now

EGR helps warm the engine up quicker to get it to run at it most afishancy in emisions and is the egr on a jimny passed back through the head not a pipe correct me if im wrong

that does sound right as i cant see a pipe back to the exhaust manifold so must come through the head just seems to be bolted to the inlet manifold with a steel pipe up to the plenum generally EGR valves ive seen in the past are bolted to the exhaust manifold themselves with a pipe feeding into the plenum.
