This EGR valve fits our Chrysler minivan. It's easy to install & seems to work well. Unfortunately, they don't last all that long on this car. My big complaint, however, was with the warranty coverage. This valve has a limited lifetime warranty, but the info to back this up gets deleted out of the Advance Auto computers after 2 years. I couldn't put my hands on my original receipt, so I had to buy the part again. This is also complicated by the fact that when you buy parts at one of their stores, the warranty info is only available IN THAT STORE. Other chains retain all warranty info for all purchases much longer & make it available to all stores. While I am almost always a happy Advance customer, I am not happy with this situation.

Comments about BWD EGR Valve:
Due to Dodges infinite wisdom, you have to pull the alternator out of the way to install this. What should have been a 20 minute job, is now 2 hours.
product itself looks fine.

Comments about BWD EGR Valve:
Ordered online; picked up at store, plus found a real deal on oil/filter. The bottom bolt on the EGR valve is a challenge. I got a couple box wrenches on it in back and got it to move; then took the top bolt all the way out and pushed the EGR valve to the rear, then could get a box wrench on from the front to take bottom bolt out. Got a set of wobble 1/4" drive extensions to install it with a 1/4" drive 10mm socket. Cleared the code P0404 and no problems.

Comments about BWD EGR Valve:
I should have changed it 2 years ago when the light came on, it didn't cause me any trouble until a few months ago. I didn't want to pay the $ to fix something that wasn't broken but my 2007 caravan started dying at idle speeds. I replace the easily accessible EGR valve and now everything is great.
Tip: take the top bolt out then rotate the valve out of your way to get the bottom bolt.

Perfect fit. I didn't realize the gaskets were included and ordered other gaskets. Pain to install because alternator had to be pulled to get to one bolt.

Q:
COULD THE EGR VALVE BEING BAD MAKE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT HARD AND AT A HIGHER RPM? MY VAN HAS A CHECK ENGINE CODE OF OPEN EGR VALVE AND THE TRANS IS ACTING LIKE THAT.Asked on 12/13/2011 by FOZZY from Alabama1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The transmission uses a special hydraulic fluid under pressure to engage a series of forward gears and one reverse gear, basically transferring the power from the engine to the rear wheels. It has to do this constantly and smoothly every time the vehicle makes a trip. Sometimes the transmission can malfunction or indicate some warning signs before total failure. The transmission fluid level can be one of the most overlooked maintenance chores, responsible for the majority of transmission problems. Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid can cause hard shifting. The transmission filter sits in the pan sump and filters all particulate matter and debris in the fluid. When the screen or filtering device becomes clogged, the pressure flow from the pump becomes restricted, causing a high back-pressure condition. If the vacuum line becomes loose at its connection point, or the diaphragm fails inside the modulator, the transmission will not shift properly. The vacuum line and modulator should also be inspected for proper working order.Answered on 12/13/2011 by John the Car-Doc from AAP

Q:
Hi, Do you know if I need to move the alternator inorder to remove the EGR valve and if so where is the tensioner. Also, in addition to the EGR valve what else should be replaced, I have the 3.8 liter.
Thanks,

A:
For help with your project, I recommend getting a repair manual specifically for your vehicle. It should be able to help you with detailed instructions on how to do many things.Answered on 11/8/2010 by Mike the Auto Parts Master from AAPA:
Mike,
With the 3.8 liter motor the EGR valva is right in front on your left when facing the motor. You don't have to touch the alternator to get to it. You can work around it with the right tools. I used a short socket with an extension to get to the bottom bolt. The bottom bolt is the hardest part.Answered on 11/13/2010 by John from Virginia

Q:
I just put this egr valve in, when I started vehicle afterwoods it sounds as if there is an exhaust leak and while idling if I got the rpm/s up to 3000 the car hesitates like crazy.
any idea what is wrong. 2006 grand caravan sxt 3.8LAsked on 9/18/2010 by sd from nh2 answers
CUSTOMER CARE

Sounds more like a vacuum leak. Are you sure you hooked up all the hoses like they were.Answered on 9/22/2010 by Mike from AAPCUSTOMER CARE

Could be a vacuum leak cheak the hoses make sure they are intact correctly and clamps are tightly fastened.Answered on 9/22/2010 by MARIE from AAP
Q:
where do you find if it has yzz or not yzz?Asked on 5/18/2010 by ted from saratoga2 answers
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
You will find those letter sets in the VIN number of your vehicle. If you look at your VIN number and you see the "yzz" consecutively in the VIN than you have the "YZZ" option. If you do not see the "yzz" in your vin, then you do not have the "YZZ" option.Answered on 5/18/2010 by Mike from AAPA:
Most codes the factory will put them on the valves itself,but you can find out which code you have thru a dealer or with the window sticker.Either way it will have this info in the options section.A code xzz which is listed for this vehicle is for a mid model year vehicle.Answered on 6/3/2010 by chrytech from lancaster
Q:
I understand the EGR sensor is to be changed at the same time as the valve, and that they should be purchased as a set that's calibrated to one another? Or is my information incorrect? I see the parts are available individually, which seems ill-advised if they need to be paired... ??Asked on 3/23/2010 by Zygoma from Statesville, NC1 answer

A:
You can buy them individually. as long as the parts are made to fit your vehicle.Answered on 5/13/2010 by Kevin from AAP
