Opel Meriva 2004 - EGR Valve removal for cleaning (Error P0400 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow)

01 March 2019
I'm a guy who love cars. I prefer to fix them myself and because I always find something to do on them, I decided to share it with you. I hope you learn something useful that can help you too.
A few days ago the car of my wife's father was lit by a check engine light. I checked the error with my diagnostic program and came out to be "P0400 - Powertrain - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow". It turned out that there is a possibility to try to clean it up, and if it does not work, the car will need a new one.
In this episode I remove the EGR valve to check its condition and try to clean it to see if there is any improvement.

Some commentary to say what you are doing would be helpful.
