Volvo EGR problems and delete

Rough running, hesitation or an EGR fault code on a diesel Volvo usually means the valve is sticking with soot. We diagnose it where the car is parked and can delete the EGR for £220 + VAT.

EGR delete for Volvo

The EGR valve sends some exhaust gas back into the intake to cut NOx. That gas carries soot, which mixes with oil vapour and bakes onto the valve until it sticks open or shut, and the ECU then logs a flow fault.

We don't clean EGR valves. If you'd rather replace the valve, a garage can fit a new one.

Frequently asked questions

Can you delete the EGR on a Volvo?

Yes, on most diesel Volvos, for off-road and export use only. Our guide on whether an EGR delete is legal explains why it isn't an option for road cars.

Do you clean Volvo EGR valves?

No, we don't offer EGR cleaning. We diagnose the fault, then either point you to a garage for a replacement or carry out the delete.

How much is an EGR delete on a Volvo?

£220 + VAT at your home or workplace. A new valve fitted by a garage varies by model, and our EGR valve replacement cost guide gives an idea.
