this is what most people think is the egr valve (see pic), but this is the secondary air valve.This is o.k. to remove. | |

I dont think u can remove the egr valve as u will lose all the water out of ur car, and u will have a big hole at one end of ur engine. | |

this paperclip test, can it be done on a X12XE (corsaB 1.2 16v) engine and what do you do? My Managagement light has recently come on and its reving funny, 80% sure it will be the ICV but want a readout to confirm... | |

on a 1.6 engine i cant 100% say where it is but it will be around the manifold somewhere as it works on recirculating gas from there | |

locate the egr valve on ure car and give it a good clean with carb cleaner as they get carbed up. if this doesnt help then u may need to replace it but when mine played up on the vectra i just disconnected it with the intention of blanking it off just never got round to doing it although it is easy to do and totally harmless as its a useless piece of equipment anyway | |

here is a pic of a egr valve for a corsa b 1.0l 12v, if this is the sensor then it looks like you can unscrew the sensor.Hope this helps:thumbs: | |
