What is an EGR Valve for?


Howdy guys? How was your weekend? I do hope it was better than mine since my car broke off last Saturday when I was just roaming around with it. I have to take it to my friend who knows something about cars and he mentioned that I have a problem with my EGR valve. As always, I was clueless what that part is for and that is why I am posting this to inform people out there so you won’t look stupid as I was when I learned what it does for a car, no pun intended.

EGR Valve stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve. This certain part assists one vehicle to proficiently and completely burn fuel by recirculation of a portion of the exhaust and operating it through the combustion process again. Now the outcome would be is that in a cooler, more absolute burn of the fuel which minimizes your car’s harmful emissions by eliminating the formation of dangerous gases. Bottom line is that the EGR valve is vital to your car’s emission control; you don’t want that to go bad. Well I do hope you guys learned something today. And for me, I guess I need to learn a lot more about cars so that I can somehow fix my own car just in case I encounter such problems again.
