yes we're talking about the EGR valve. The tubes are not on the pic, at least i couldn't see them. They're kind of hidden, and you can c 'em a little bit when u stick ur had by the air intake. The hoses go from manifold and go to (what i was told) a 'backpack' sensor...and from there goes to EGR, i guess. It is hard to see how everything goes...not even any room to stick ur hand in there.
But anyway...i thought it was a cat. I called dealer and they want 275CND for a new cat...kind of stupid...i reather go with performance one..even cheaper. Speaking of cats, u mentions that this car has 2 pre-cats. Where are they located? and how to i get to them??
And thanks for the recall info. I have to check on the dealer for this recall...it might be different then in US. And my car has 123K km...which is around 77k miles. Hopefully, the recall works.
anyway...
thanks for all ur help!
if anyone else had this problem, please let me know!
or if anyone else has any other ideas what the problem could be!?
help appriciated!
thanks!
