Changing the EGR valve in a Kia Shuma

thestealer

I have a 1999 Kia Shuma bought for very little under the bangernomics ideal

The check engine light is showing the the EGR valve is showing as suspect, confirmed by my local garage, it doesn't affect the driving much but I suspect is not great on emissions.

I can get a cheap replacement part from a scrappy but is it a difficult job to fit? According to Haynes manual it is located "under the thottle body", this is less than useless to an enthusiastic amateur as there are lots of things under the throttle body, I couldn't even locate it!

Any advice/ideas welcome.

Thanks

You'll find it easily enough by tracing the pipe from the exhaust manifold into the EGR valve, and the other pipe from the valve into the intake manifold.
