Dazzzzbo, how did you get the egr valve off? What tool did you use? I stripped the parts back as far as removing the pipe that goes to the turbo after that I can't access the bolts as there is no room for a socket or a spanner.
Thanks

 

Hi Bruce
I only removed the valve itself off the manifold. I just used a 1/4" drive socket with a uv joint adapter. I just did it by feel though as you can't see anything. I so wish all these bits were in front if engine lol.
