After cleaning out my EGR valve a couple of times now, I thought it would be better to replace it which would give me a better chance of stripping down my original and doing a thorough overhaul of it. So I purchased this new one, and i expect it to last as long as my original one has (14 years and 58,000 miles) whether im still here then is debatable, but its a good quality item that works well and im very pleased with it, its easy enough to fit and it takes approx 20 mins to have it all up and running again so no big issues, plus its supplied with new gaskets which also is a bonus but dont forget to clean out your manifold before you fit it. Although its not the same make unit as the original it does the same job and it is great product, recommended.
