Hi
I’m just trying to understand how the egr valve/ cooler operates and would be grateful if somebody could answer my queries. I see there is a butterfly type valve inside the egr cooler operated by vacuum - what’s the purpose of this and how does this vary from the main solenoid egr valve?
I’ve a 2011 180 on 51k miles and have recently had my original (no suffix) egr valve and cooler replaced with a D suffix after it failed. The solenoid valve was seized with soot as was the butterfly valve. I believe the butterfly was seized closed - Is this better or worse than open? I had my oil changed at the same time and am now monitoring oil usage to check if there has been any damage to the cylinders.
Thanks
