Jojo Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Anyway, I found out the name of the Parts, it is a EGR Valve...with those members that know the function of this valve. is it possible that this valve will leak some coolant? please let me know, because that's what I found out when I inspect the engine.

PhotoAl Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 EGR is exhaust gas recirculation. Is the leak in a hose or an engine seal or gasket? sometimes it can be hard to tell where the leak is coming from. Did it overheat due to low coolant or is the leak due to the overheating?

Fifty150 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Exhaust gas recirculates through the valve. Coolant should not be leaking leaking from the EGR. Just because you saw coolant, that does not mean that coolant is inside the EGR and leaking out. Now you have to find the source of the coolant. Clean everything off. Dry it. Then run the car with the hood open, and start looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 You need to put pressure on the cooling system when the engine is cold so you can move what is around the EGR valve and then you will see where the coolant is leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
