EGR valve bolts..?

dvorak9085 · 12-21-2023, 10:12 PM

Hello,
Decided to do some “deep” cleaning of the EGR parts, removed one bolt from this plate and the other one from the head became worn (old guy) looking to find where I could buy these two or something similar.
Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance!

uhhhh, Typically the butterfly valve bolts aren't meant to be removed. They are normally staked in place to prevent them from rattling out and being ingested by the engine. They must have been a b!tch to remove!

No part numbers on realoem so you will have to take what is left of the bolts you removed to a hardware store and find something suitable. Good luck!

Tbh, they were very easy to remove 😅
Anyway, thanks for the time to answer me!

Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to refuse for now 😅
Not living in the US or Europe- otherwise, I'll accept your offer 🫶
Thanks anyway!

Buttefly screws are special screws, normaly they are lockt with a punch with a centerpunch. You ready don’t want a screw in you engine.
