   iirc the supposed 130bhp models were on X-plates and had the mounts for the egr valve but the valve itself wasn't actually fitted.

    you see the metal pipe which goes from the right hand side of the valve into the block? i assume there would be a blanking plate of some sort. apart from that i'm not sure mate.

    EGR Valve is because of anti-polution regulations.
    EGR Valve just put air from the manifold to the intake again, reusing the "air"... Isn't definatly good have EGR valve in your cars. It just take life duration of your motors. In my Pug 206 hdi, mine is off
    
    sorry the bad english

    I know this is an old topic but I was just wondering if the egr valve will have to be removed if you get an aftermarket manifold. Also would it cause any problems removing the valve.
    
    cheers.

    no problems with removing it, i think you just need a blanking plate and to remove the fuse for it

    why dont you trial fit your manifold and see, most manifolds go nowhere near it since the EGR valve sits on top of the head and the manifold fits to the bottom.

    ah, I thought the valve was attached to the manifold (dont I look stupid ) cheers ratty. I will be getting a supersprint manifold so hopefully that will fit.
