The EGR cooler lowers the temperature of exhaust gas before it re-enters the intake, using engine coolant, which improves the effectiveness of emissions reduction.
An EGR cooler is distinct from the valve. Compare coolant connections, exhaust flanges and the complete part reference. Bypass hardware, actuator and valve can be excluded even when shown in an assembly photograph. Establish what condition checks are described and which additional components are needed for the intended replacement.
If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:
Check Engine light with an EGR temperature or coolant-related fault code
Coolant loss with no other visible external leak
White smoke from the exhaust (coolant entering the combustion chamber via a cracked cooler)
Installation information
Requires draining the coolant before removal — always fit new gaskets and bleed the cooling system afterward.
Frequently asked questions
It typically means the cooler has developed an internal crack, letting coolant leak into the exhaust gas path and ultimately into the combustion chamber — this needs prompt attention.
Super good! They came through with the part I needed, quickly and at a fair price! Thanks, and I definitely recommend!

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
