Service Overview
EGR systems re-route exhaust to cut emissions — and collect carbon relentlessly while doing it. Stuck valves, clogged coolers and leaking gaskets cause rough running, overheating and derates.
Work involves EGR valve cleaning or replacement, cooler testing (leaks send coolant into the intake — serious), carbon removal from passages, and post-repair verification of flow rates.
Signs You Need This Service
