Did I tell you about my mountain bike? I've had my trek comin upto 3 years now. Anyway took it in for a service and complained about the pedals slipping. Got a call back later on telling me the frame had cracked. Took it back to the dealer I got it from and they sent pics off to trek, trek then said send us the frame. They did. Trek then said they'd replace it. Only issue was they no linger make my frame. This then meant I got the new one. Then they had a problem with the brakes when they put everything back together. Anyway got a call today and their replacing all the brakes with hydraulic ones haha result or what

did you clean the inlet as well?

some jags egr's fit and they can be had for around about £100. When I changed mine though the cheap jag one didn't fit my car (the part is the same as the ford one, over £100 cheaper)

just tighten the inlet so its tight, no need to torque it up, just don't go too tight.

My egr is different than that, although it is electric and vacuum, the electrical connector is different and the wiring also.

Have you checked your fault codes to see if it is egr?

with torque you can set it to erase codes as soon as they happen. basically it will check every second or so and if it finds a fault it will clear it.
