I want to remove the EGR valve and cooler to give it a clean, what tools are best as no alot of space in there ? The hoses attached to the cooler ...is water going thru,what to do with it ? Just unclip them and let water come out ? Thanx
Here's some helpful hints that @m.wynn and I put together when we changed his out late last month: My Prius is down 4 quarts of oil 9000 miles after oil change The E8 torx socket and ratcheting wrench are your friend on this job. Keep us posted.
Ray what about the coolant? Did you drain first, or? @MeGuinness It's pretty much necessity too: to remove wipers, wiper motor/linkage and windshield cowl.
Coolant was drained and windshield wiper cowling was removed. Coolant spillage was limited to 1-2 ounces if you cork the hoses, or 3-4 ounces if you just disconnect them and let them sit. Keep us posted @MeGuinness .
