How much for the EGR ???
I tried to reach the EGR, to clean it, but the whole thing looks like one piece.. i mean, the tube to goes to the exhaust seems attached to the EGR... that makes hard to remove it and clean it.
Why did u change the EGR ??
What was the problem ???
Any pinging before ?? If so, how about now ??
Later
Yes, New EGR I installed in about 30 minutes I bought from my friend, the parts Mgr at a large dealer = wholesale + 10% to me. I Just left the little hose on the engine and did not use the new one as it would have been very difficult to disconnect from the engine. The big nut that holds the EGR onto the recirculating tubing(I guess that's what it is) was a bugger...Some Liquid wrench and a special ratchet got that loose.
Prior to EGR replacement the engine was chugging and could only barely climb a hill / bridge...No Pinging. I got an engine computer analyzer and checked the codes = 2 error codes related to EGR. Now it has a very slight miss sometimes when accelerating at the initial accelerating point and then it goes smoothly. I've driven it only about 10 miles with th new EGR thus far.
I drive a 2003 4WD XTERRA..My wife occasionally drives the 1995 Prestine CONTOUR.
