Before starting any work on the EGR tube, start by removing the negative
Battery Cable. There is a small bracket holding the purge solenoid, so you must remove this from the bracket and move the solenoid to another location. After unlocking and disconnecting the
EGR Valve's electrical connector, remove the bolts underneath the lower tube on the
Exhaust Manifold and the three securing it to the valve. Remove the lower tube from the car, making sure to support the silicone rubber seals so they don't fall into the
Intake Manifold. Check the gasket areas on the EGR valve since loose dirt might cause leaks and result in engine shaking at low speeds and decreased manifold vacuum. After the surface is clean, place the bottom tube into the vehicle and attach it with the three bolts to the EGR valve and two bolts to the exhaust manifold. Screw the EGR valve and the exhaust manifold bolt ends into the lower tube until the torque on the bolts is 11 Nm (95 in. lbs.) and 31 Nm (275 in. lbs.). Lock in the electrical connector from step 2, move and secure the purge solenoid, put it on the bracket and reconnect the negative battery cable.
