EGR valve removal

Hi
We are looking to remove and replace the EGR oil cooler, any ideas how long it takes?
Thanks

Are you looking to remove the EGR valve as per title of thread or the EGR cooler fitted to automatic vehicles?

Sorry it’s the EGR cooler

Not long. It's easy to get at, and only has 2 cooling pipes, and 2 exhaust transfer pipes. There's a couple of mounting bolts too, but nothing difficult.

Or, if it is leaking, you could blank the EGR and then cap the water pipes to it.

They usually leak at the front pipe to the EGR.

It's simple enough not to need a video.

Hi, we have been told it has oil leaking from the EGR cooler? is it oil cooled or water cooled? Husband tried to access it from under the vehicle
but he cannot seem to reach it, any suggestions on this , thanks

That's not right, as there's no oil going to the cooler. There's only hot exhaust gasses going through the cooler to EGR valve, and coolant, which is cooling the hot exhaust gasses passing through.

It's more likely the vacuum pump is the source of the oil leak, which is near the EGR cooler.

Can you post some pictures of the issue, as many as you can from different angles.

Edited, typo.

thanks will do once my husband gets under the car again,

The EGR cooler and vacuum pump are visible from under the bonnet, LH side of the car, between the battery and engine.

I'm wondering if there is some confusion here. It isn't the oil cooler for the engine or the gearbox that is leaking is it??
