where would be the best and cheapest place to order a new egr valve from?

MJP probably. But I wouldn't even consider replacing it if it's failed. Ditching it is by far the better and cheaper option.

Steams has given you the best option, delete if failed, out of interest what makes you think it has failed?

i don't know if it is failed but i was reading up that if the car is a bit slugish then to replace this, the pcv's and the fuel dampener and it would run alot better. the way my car is runnin at the moment, i'm willing to try anything as on start up the revs drop until it stalls but then it runs fine on the second start. also after giving it some and then returning to sensible driving it feels a bit restricted if you know what i mean.

out of interest though, how would i go about deleting the egr? baring in mind i'm not very technically minded (i know how to sort the basics).

This may be of help mate,

thanks for the help mate, just had a look but with my limited knowledge it makes no sense to me at all. what i did pick up though was that the engine needs to come out to do this and for me that really is not an option as this is my daily driver and i have no second car to get to and from work.

have a look here....

thanks mate, that looks like a better step by step guide. where can i get a egr delete kit from?

This kit from the States has everything you need but unless you plan on getting a few bits the shipping will be expensive.

Luke at Zcentre has the blanks and exhaust bung at the least, maybe even the whole lot. It's not on the site but I know he has them. Give him a try and if he doesn't do the rest you can get the nipple caps on ebay

thanks for the help mate, i'll have to look into it.

Wow thats a very random cause and effect scenario, dont be offended but you way off with that info, what you need top look at is the basics first, ignition timing, air leaks, throttle balance, spark plug condition, so, so easy to go too technical and over spend on a basic set up issue.

 

My advise would be to get it on a ConZult diagnostic to check all of the standard settings, a boost / air leak check and then a more comprehensive tune/ set up can be done and be assured somewhere along that route the problem will be sorted.

once i found out exactly what was entailed in doin the egr, i have kind of backed out of the idea abit. although i still want to do the pcv's and hoses (can you pm me the prices ect as we discussed last night please). i am going to be checking the tps and iaa at the weekend and see if there is any problems there.
