Exhaust Gas Recirculation Service in Kansas City

Exhaust Gas Recirculation. The EGR Valve. What does it do? The EGR Valve assists in lowering the emissions your vehicle produces and also helps your car to run more efficiently. Long story short, the EGR Valve is what recycled gasses that are unused. Keeping the EGR Valve clean makes it possible for it to perform this important task. Where does it live? It sits right next to your engine. Why is it important? For emissions standards, the EGR valve makes or breaks you passing that test. If your EGR valve is broken or has gone bad, your car won’t pass the emissions test.
 
Signs Your EGR Valve Needs to be Replaced:
  • Check engine light is on
  • Car starts to shake regularly, maybe even stall
  • Loss of general car power
These signs are vague and overlapping with many others, which is why it is so important to bring in your car as soon as something starts to seem off. Catching the problem early is key to preventing new issues from arising.

What does EGR Valve Service Entail?

  • Our technicians first scan your car’s computer system
  • We then check all vacuum related hoses that could have leaks and are connected to the EGR valve
  • We test the EGR transducer
  • Verify no related ports are plugged and are in good condition
  • If so, we remove and replace the valve then clean any and all deposits around the area for a fresh start
  • After clearing the error code, we test it again and pass it back on to you if all is clear to go
We recommend having the EGR valve serviced about every 50,000 miles if there are no issues before then. Having it cleaned every so often helps to make sure buildup doesn’t happen in important areas that could cause trouble for your car.
