I have a 2007 Navara. its just lost all power and thick black smoke is coming out the exhaust. took the egr valve off to have a look and the valve or (butterfly valve) has broken off. It was stuck shut which im guessing is why it was smoking.

Do I need to replace it now? Looking at the prices of them I hope not. Or can I just blank it off?

And I need a guide how to blank it off. I have searched the site but cant seem to find exactly what I need.

Any help would be great thanks.
 
Put the broken EGR valve back on. Fit a blank at the position the EGR pipe fits on to it. Yours should be a Euro4 ( Black rocker cover NOT engine cover) so the flange is the round one.

If there is no EML showing on the dash you should get away without fitting a new EGR valve.

Have a look at this thread (fil's picture on the first page shows the blank you'll need to make or buy) viewtopic.php?f=15&t=12136&hilit=egr+blank+euro+4

Good luck.

My smoke test reading went lower after fitting the egr blank.
Best 5 mins spent fitting the blank!
:+1 with Bob!
My emissions dropped 1.25% after blanking. Which is quite amusing really as the egr is supposed to assist with a cleaner burn.
Is that another thing the EuroPratts c0cked up on do we think :faint

+1 Remember blanking it off will not fix it, on top of LS1s advice I would check for any fault codes pending, just in case.
