Fourteen OE exhaust gas recirculation applications join Valeo’s range, increasing the number of parts available to 26. Models covered include Range Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Audi, Ford and Citroen.

Product manager Sharna Russell said: “It is important to ensure that a vehicle’s EGR system is regularly checked to verify that it is operating at optimum capacity. Otherwise, this could potentially lead to a costly and ineffective air management system.” She continues, “EGR valves can accumulate debris over time and as a result get stuck in the open or closed position, which leads to a failure of the emissions test. In some instances, the car reverts to ‘safe’ mode as a result of EGR failure.”
