  Q: How to Install an EGR Valve on a 2.7L Engine on Chrysler 300?

  A:

  The EGR valve should be installed on a 2.7L engine after the mounting surface is cleaned. After that, attach the EGR valve and fasten it with the bolts (1). Look at the seals around the opening of the EGR Tube at the Intake Manifold, position them correctly and ensure they aren't damaged before inserting the upper tube. Add a gasket to the junction between the EGR valve and upper tube and then screw in the bolts (2). Place the next, lower tube against the Exhaust Manifold, make sure to use a new gasket under the EGR valve and attach with bolts (3). Apply 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.) of torque to the lower tube to EGR valve bolts and 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs.) torque to the bolts at the lower tube to exhaust manifold. Install bolts at the upper tube to the EGR valve (2) to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.) and the EGR valve bolts to the cylinder head (1) to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). Attach the electrical connector to the EGR valve and hold it firm before moving on and putting the purge solenoid into its bracket. After that, reattach the negative battery connection and remove all stored DTC's with a diagnostic scan tool.

  Q: How to Service and Repair an EGR Valve on Chrysler 300?

  A:

  Whenever you find it necessary to service the EGR valve, first get to know its parts, a tube with a heat shield on top, the valve itself and another tube below it. Take the negative cable off the battery, take out the purge solenoid from its bracket and set it in a different position. After that, take off the electrical connector from the EGR valve and then unbolt the EGR Tube from the Exhaust Manifold. Remove the lower tube bolts from the EGR valve and pull out the lower tube and afterward take out the upper tube bolts. Then, extract the EGR valve mounting screws and carefully remove the valve. Clean the area on the engine where the EGR valve and bolts are fitted before installation. Check the seals on the Intake Manifold side of the EGR tube first, then put the upper tube into the intake manifold, ensuring the seals are where they should be and not broken. Attach a new gasket between the EGR valve and the upper tube after placing it. Connect the lower tube to the exhaust manifold, including a new gasket between the EGR valve and tube and tighten everything with bolts. The EGR valve bolts to the lower tube should be tightened to 11 Nm and bolts securing the lower tube to the exhaust manifold should be tightened to 31 Nm. Use 11 Nm (95 in. lbs.) on the bolts joining the upper tube and EGR valve and 31 Nm (275 in. lbs.) for the EGR valve bolts on the cylinder head. Lastly, link the electrical connector back to the EGR valve, put the purge solenoid in its original position below the bracket, attach it and reconnect the negative Battery Cable.
