Review on πŸ”Œ Dorman 911-604 EGR Valve Control Solenoid for Toyota Models, Black by Charles Collier

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Start here by repairing EGR Code

Start with this part. If you search the internet you will find that this part fails more often than the EGR itself. Before that I swapped all other components. The code was still included. The good news is that the P0401 trouble code and emissions test error will be resolved. The bad news is that this is the scariest part. Whilst all the other 3 parts of the EGR system are on top of the engine, this part is under the engine which is only accessible by jacking up the car (jack up please), removing the passenger wheel and either working blindly while seated in yoga -Breast pressed style. brake disc or lay on your back and try to reach that stupid screw. Hm! Part that fails and lousy placement. Could this have been intentional by the Toyota designers? I smell a conspiracy for a high repair. I've only had success with a deep 12mm socket and an 8" extension. This is not for the weak do-it-yourselfer. If you have access to an elevator that would be great. I hope your experience is better than mine. During this renovation, I had many good words for the Toyota designers.

Pros
  • . Great for me
