Where is the EGR valve on the Rover 75 tourer 1.8T 2005 model petrol?

Hello everyone!

Just so its out there; I am totally new to this forum.

I was wondering if anyone could be so kind as to guide me to the location of the EGR valve on the Rover 75 tourer, 1.8T petrol. I have a slight surge in my rpm and moderate petrol smell at idle and suspect the EGR valve could do with some cleaning.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

There is no egr valve on a 1.8T petrol. This valve is fitted to diesel models only.

The surging could be an air leak somewhere.

There is no EGR valve? Isn't there a EGR valve in petrol engines?

What could then cause the slight smell of petrol at idle? There arent any leaks, atleast not any visible

Yes EGRs are fitted to many petrol engines, but as mentioned, not the K Series.

Welcome to the Club and forum Eirik. You are in the right place and you will get the answer soon.

Maybe look at some of the older messages and they may suggest a cause.

Good luck
