Replace EGR Valve on 300 Limited 2006
 

What is the best method of removing the the two bolts from the EGR Valve from under the hood or under the car? Do you need to remove the metal EGR tube from the upper manifold cover. Please provide step by step instructions. I know where the EGR valve is located but can not figure out how to get to the two bolts. I have already purchased the parts and took my car to 5 gas station and they said they could not do it. So Im trying to do the work myself.

thanks for any help

3.5????

the 3.6 is not available until the 2010 model year...No matter...

You have 2 options.

From under the car with a 3 foot extension and a 10mm "Swivel socket", or Remove the Intake Plenum, and lift it out from the top.....

Yes the tube gets removed from the intake and pulled up with the valve...it is assembled outside the car and put back as an assembly.

What are you NOT telling Me , that 5 shops have refused this......???:confused:

I get my car service at the Chrysler dearlership all the time just ran into problem with GEICO mech breakdown insurance coverage. I thought my deductible for repairs was $250.00. Took my car to Chrysler service dept; they said I needed 6 repairs, we called my insurance company and I was told I had to pay a $250.00 deductible for each repair. I paid the $250.00 deductible for 5 repairs. Tapped out just trying to save money on last repair because service dept said best to change the spark plugs to when upper manifold is removed to replace the EGR. For the 5 repairs that was completed I paid $1000.00 and insurance company paid $300.00. Please help me on this last repair. The last repair will cost me $ 250 + $200 to change spark plugs.

3.5 engine RWD

A lot of Gas station mech do not have the knowlege to work on the newer cars. Lack of Training for newer cars

Thanks
For your help; on Sat I will take car to Ft Belvior, Va. Military Base Auto Craft Shop and try to complete. Hope they have that 3 foot extension and a 10mm "Swivel socket to remove the 2 bolts

Umm.....Pardon my French, But that is a LOAD of $hit....Unless the sparkplugs are part of one of the other repairs, tell them to leave them right where they are. 250 is part and labor for egr, which includes removal of plenum, ..So if the plenum is off, dont pay 200 for sparkplugs!!!!

What else was done????

Ok...think for a moment......In 2005 when the car first came out, Who trained the dealer techs.....?????

Chrysler published Service information.....Which we usually dont refer to anymore, because of the repetitive factor. After the first 2 or 3, it becomes knowledge....

We are also discussing a 2006 vehicle....Its six years old.....Independant shop or not, there is NO excuse for not having Information available to you, whether it be Factory manuals, a subscription to an Information Service, or even as lowly as that wonderful thing that us Internet users call GOOGLE... This is the 21st century, and there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE, to go at someone elses vehicle blindly....At very least, its poor ethics...

On a lighter note, you should seriously consider what you should do with your breakdown Protection Policy.... Cause that is a Crock...

What all started this is my car fail state emission test; and computer code was EGR; dealership told me to change spark plugs to make sure I can past emission test. Insurance will not cover because sparks plugs are wear item. I know when you removed the upper mainfold the plugs are in sight and can changed. But dealership wanted 1 hr labor $100.00 and $100.00 parts

1 hour , for spark plugs, when the plenum is already off.....??????? That is one mighty big steak this guy plans on eating......
